  1. MEDICAL MANAGEMENT OF OBESITYSelected Topics • Patient evaluation • Diet • Exercise • Obesity medications

  2. Case 1 • 50 year old man, in good health, no history of cigarettes, in for check up. BMI 32. • Should you tell him he is obese?

  3. CLASSIFICATION OF OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY BY BMI • Obesity Class BMI (kg/m2) Underweight <18.5 Normal 18.5 – 24.9 • Overweight 25.0 – 29.9 • Obesity I 30.0 – 34.9 • II 35.0 – 39.9 • Extreme Obesity III >40

  4. BMI AND MORTALITY: Overall • Combined NHANES I, II, and III data set • BMI 25-59 y 60-69 y ≥70 y • <18.5 1.38 2.30 1.69 • 18.5-<25 1.00 1.00 1.00 • 25 to <30 0.83 0.95 0.91 • 30 to <35 1.20 1.13 1.03 • ≥35 1.83 1.63 1.17 Flegal, JAMA, 2005

  5. Case 1 (continued) • You tell him he is obese. • He says, “ I’m not interested in weight loss. I just want a refill of my viagra.” • What is your response? How much of a work up should you perform?

  6. An Office-Based Approach • Make the diagnosis (and communicate it) • Assess readiness for change • Prescribe diet and exercise • Consider medications and surgery

  7. METABOLIC SYNDROME • Fulfill 3 or more criteria: • Waist: men > 102 cm ( > 40 in); women > 88 cm ( > 35 in) • HDL: men < 40; women < 50 • Triglycerides: ≥150 mg/dl • BP: ≥130/85 (or use of medications) • Fasting glucose: ≥110 mg/dl • ICD-9: 277.7 NCEP, JAMA 2001

  8. LIFESTYLE CHANGES AND ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION • RCT 110 obese men, 35-55 with ED, 2 years • Detailed advice to achieve 10% weight loss vs general info re food choices and exercise • BMI EF score over 22 • Diet 31.2 17 (31%) • Control 35.7 3 • p=0.001 Esposito JAMA, 2004

  9. GOALS OF MANAGEMENT • Be as fit as possible at current weight • Prevent further weight gain • If successful at 1 and 2, begin weight loss

  10. Case 2 • 50 year old woman, in good health, in for check up. BMI 32 with metabolic syndrome. • She says, “ I have to lose weight, and I am planning on doing that. I am about to try the Atkins diet.”

  11. DIET THERAPY • 48 RCT’S • Average weight loss 8% over 3-12 months

  12. VLCD’s vs LCD’s: Meta-analysis of 29 U.S. Studies • Weight loss studies with > two year f/u • 13 VLCDs, 14 LCDs • Mostly observational studies (few RCT’s) • Weight loss (as % of initial weight): • 1y 2y 3y 4y 5y • LCDs 7.2 4.2 3.5 2.8 2.0 • VLCDs 16.1 9.7 7.8 7.0 6.2 Anderson, Am J Clin Nutr, 2001

  13. COMPARISON OF ATKINS, ORNISH, WEIGHT WATCHERS, AND ZONE 160 patients, randomly assigned • Intention to treat at 1 year • AtkinsOrnishWWZone • Wt Loss (kg) 2.1 3.3 3.0 3.2 • Completers (%) 53 50 65 65 • Completers at 1 year • AtkinsOrnishWWZone • Wt Loss (kg) 3.9 6.6 4.6 4.9 Dansinger, JAMA 2005

  14. COMPARISON OF ATKINS, ORNISH, WEIGHT WATCHERS, AND ZONE • Each group: 25% lost 5%, 10% lost 10% of initial weight • Each diet reduced LDL/HDL by 10% • No significant effects on BP or glucose • Weight loss associated with adherence, but not diet type • CRP and insulin reductions associated with weight loss, but not diet Dansinger, JAMA, 2005

  15. DIET APPROACHES • Diets low cal (low fat, low carbohydrate), meal replacement • Commercial programs Weight Watchers™, Jenny Craig™, TOPS™, Overeaters Anonymous™, Nutrisystem.com,™ Shapedown,™ The Solution™ • Internet programs (by RDs) Fitday.com, Dietwatch.com, Cyberdiet.com, eDiets.com, Shapeup.org

  16. FITNESS AND MORTALITYAerobics Center Longitudinal Study 25,714 men, 44 years old, 14 year observational study • CV death (RR) • normal overweight obese • Fit 1.0 1.5 1.6 • Not fit 3.1 4.5 5.0 • Total death (RR) • normal overweight obese • Fit 1.0 1.1 1.1 • Not fit 2.2 2.5 3.1 Wei, JAMA 1999

  17. FITNESS AND OBESITYNurses Health Study 116,564 women, 24 year observational study • Total death (RR) • normal overweight • Active 1.00 1.91 • Not active 1.55 2.42 Hu FB, NEJM 2004

  18. SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS MAINTENANCE • 3000 subjects in National Weight Control Registry: 30-lb weight loss for 1-year • Average weight loss 30kg (10 BMI units less), average weight maintenance 5.5 years • 45 years old, 80% women, 97% Caucasian • 46% overweight as child, 46% one parent obese, 27% both parents Wing and Hill, Ann Rev Nutr, 2001

  19. SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS MAINTENANCE • High levels of physical activity • Women 2545 kcal/week, men 3293 kcal/week (1-hour moderate intensity per day • Only 9% report no physical activity • Diet low in fat, high in carbohydrate • 1381 kcal day, 24% fat, 19% protein, 56% CHO • 4.87 meals or snacks/day • Fast food 0.74/week • Regular self-monitoring of weight • 44% weigh once per day; 31% once per week Wing and Hill, Ann Rev Nutr, 2001

  20. Case 3 • 46 year old woman, in good health, in for check up. BMI 42 with metabolic syndrome. • In 1996 she lost 20 pounds on phen-fen. She wants a new weight loss drug and a referral for weight loss surgery.

  21. “LONG TERM” PHARMACOTHERAPY OF OBESITY • Review of all RCT’s more than 36 weeks published since 1960 • Weight loss in excess of placebo: • % of initial kg’s • Phen-fen 11.0% 9.6 kg • Phentermine 8.1% 7.9 kg • Sibutramine 5.0% 4.3 kg • Orlistat 3.4% 3.4 kg • Dexfenfluramine 3.0% 2.5 Kg • Fluoxetine -0.4% -0.4 kg • Diethyproprion -1.5% -1.5 kg Glazer, Arch Int Med 2001

  22. OFF-LABEL USE • Sertraline – SSRI • More selective 5-HT uptake inhibitor • In Phase III trials now • Buproprion – NA re-uptake inhibitor • RCT of 327 obese pts, 24 weeks; • Wt. loss: 2% placebo vs. 5% in 300/400 mg • Topiramate – CA inhibitor • RCT in 385 obese pts; dose-ranging; 24 wks • Wt loss: -2.6% placebo vs. -5 to -6% w/drug

  23. OTHER DRUGS OFF-LABEL • Amantadine • Other SSRIs (fuvoxamine, venlafaxine, citalopram, others) • H2 blockers (cimetidine) • Metformin • Wt loss: -2 kg with drug vs. -0 kg with placebo vs. -4 kg with lifestyle in DPP • Zonisamide – antiepileptic • Wt loss: -5.9 kg with drug vs. 0.9 kg with placebo

  24. DRUGS IN PHASE III TRIALS • Axokine - Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor analog • CNTF structurally related to IL-6 • Anorexigenic effect from inhibition of NPY • SQ injections • Rimonabant – Cannabinoid 1 receptor • Selective antagonist of CB1 - CNS action • Oral

  25. RIMONABANT (Acomplia™) • 1,507 severely obese people, Europe, 2-years (2005) • rimonabant 7.3 kg loss • placebo 2.5 kg loss • 3,040 obese people, US, 2-years (2004) • rimonabant 7.6 kg loss • placebo 2.3 kg loss

  26. RIMONABANT (Acomplia™)Side Effects Nausea: 13.7% with drug vs. 5.5% on placebo Dizziness: double with drug Diarrhea: double with drug Depression: 2.8% vs. 1.6% Drop outs: 19% with drug vs. 13% with placebo

  27. Food Intake-central • Monoamines (NA, 5-HT, DA) • Peptides (NPY, AGRP, POMC, • CART, CRH, insulin) • Food Intake-peripheral • GI peptides (CCK) • Pancreatic peptides (GLP-1, • enterostatin, amylin) Leptin Vagus Obesity • Thermogenesis • Thyroid hormones • Β3-adrenergic agonists • UCPs • Fat Absorption • Lipase inhibitors • Fatty acid transporters • Fat Metabolism • DGAT • Adipocyte differentiation Bray, Nature, 2000 Future Drug Targets

  28. PRINCIPLES OF DRUG THERAPY • NIH: BMI > 30 kg/m2 or 27 kg/m2 with co-morbidity (but in practice almost never) • Motivated to begin structured exercise and low calorie diet • Begin medications at completion of one month successful diet and exercise • Continue medications only if additional weight loss achieved in first month with meds
