  4. Prevalence of Obesityin the U.S. (1999-2004) • Obese 32.2% • Overweight 66.3% • Kids • 33.6% “at risk” • 17.1% “overweight” All ages Both sexes All ethnic groups All socioeconomic levels JAMA 2006; 295:1549

  10. Overweight American Childrenpercent > 95% ile Ogden et al, JAMA 2006; 295:1549

  11. Medical Consequences of Obesity • Psychosocial • Cardiovascular • Lipidemia • Diabetes mellitus • Hypertension • Respiratory • Cardiac • Medical • Polycystic ovary disease • Gall bladder disease • Osteoarthritis • Cancer • Steatohepatitis • Mortality Diseases that begin in childhood amplify morbidity – and costs

Overweight in Adolescence-- Mortality in Middle Age • Nurses Health Study II (n = 102,400) • Followed 22-49 yr olds 1989 – 2001 • Non-smokers BMI at 18 yrs by recall Adiposity in adolescence is associated with premature death in younger and middle-aged U.S. women Van Dam, Ann Intern Med 2006; 145:91

  13. The Relationship between BMI and Medical Complications

  14. Risks for Metabolic SyndromeAfrican American Children • obesity high blood glucose abdominal girth • hypertension high triglycerides • Screened: 385 for BMI and 90 for metabolic syn • MS in 3-6th grade in urban Chicago? • Total with risk factors for MS = 5.6% • In > 95th % BMI group = 13.8% • 57% 1 risk factor • 33.3% 2 risk factors • 13.8% > 3 risk factors * Used 110 mg/dL value for fasting glucose Braunschweig, Am J Clin Nutr 2005: 81:970

  15. Co-morbidites & Extreme Obesity • 75% have > 1 related medical comorbidity • 7 times the normal risk of diabetes • 6 times the risk of hypertension • 4 times the risk of arthritis • 3 times the risk of asthma • 4 times the risk of only fair to poor health • 2 times the risk of all-cause mortality Hensrud, Mayo Clin Proc 2006:81:s5

  16. Health care Costs& Extreme Obesity • Obesity associated with more cost than any other medical condition • 5-7% of total medical expenditures • $75 million direct; $139 billion total costs • 36-39% higher health care costs • Extreme obesity • 81% higher costs • accounts for $11billion in direct costs • Among employed in U.S., the 3% with extreme obesity account for 21% of costs Hensrud, Mayo Clin Proc 2006:81:s5

  20. The Second Wave Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome

  21. Prevalence of Diabetes in U.S.– 1990 to 2001 21 million people/ 7% of the population 1 in 3 children born in 2000 face T2DM Narayan, JAMA 2003; 290:1884
