  1. Incidence of Obesity in Psychiatric Patient at Patton State Hospital: An Observational Study Corinna Ruf Patton State Hospital Dietetic Intern January 9, 2014

  2. Introduction • Obesity in U.S. and Canada10: • Men: 32.6% • Women: 36.2% • Rise of BMI in incarcerated population • At Patton State Hospital: • Women were more severely obese (BMI>40) than men.

  3. Literature Review • 2/3 of U.S. adults are now obese or overweight6 • 1% of the population is now incarcerated6 • Weight gain may be caused by: • Imprisonment3 • Psychological Harm3 • Physical Harm3 • Stressors6

  4. Physical Activity • Incarceration leads to decreased physical activity • This can lead to: • Decreased muscle mass • Decreased calorie burned • Obesity • In addition, these establishments often provide excess calories.

  5. Diet • Hinataet al. 6 placed female prisoners on an 1800 calorie, low-fat, high fiber diet with mandatory activity for inmates • Decreased BMI • Decreased Blood Pressure • Decreased Cholesterol • Decreased LDL • Increased HDL • Shows that physical activity and diet are a large source for health issues and high BMI in inmates.

  6. Antipsychotic Medications • It was found that 77% of patient treated with atypical antipsychotics were obese7 • Other metabolic side effects: • Central obesity • High blood pressure • High triglycerides • Low HDL • Insulin resistance

  7. Cost Considerations for Obesity • Increased risk for diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease2 • Increased cost for government providing health care to inmates6 • Infrastructure changes6 • Beds, restraints, chairs and medical equipment • Transportation cost6 • Each 100 pounds recuses MPG by 2%.

  8. Weight Loss Counseling: Men vs. Women • Whiteman et al. 201311 • Physicians provided more counseling to women then men in all weight ranges • 100% of doctors reports discussing weight loss with overweight patients • 56% of overweight patients report having discussed it with their doctors

  9. Genetic and Physiological Differences: Men vs Women • Biological regulators of body weight5 • Gastrointestinal hormones • Dietary behaviors • Eating related cues • Social factors • Environmental factors • Brain Structure differences5 • Women are less likely to: • Control eating • Resist emotional cues

  10. Physiological Differences: Men vs. Women • Average body fat:8 • Women: 25% • Men:15% • Female hormones in relation to fat8 • Metabolic rate of fat8

  11. Age • Increased age leads to higher rated of fat deposition • Fat distribution • Men and post-menopausal women: central or abdominal obesity • Pre-menopausal women: peripheral obesity • Thus older age fat distribution in women leads to higher risk for diabetes mellitus 2 and cardiovascular mortality.9

  12. Women and Antipsychotics • Women have greater risk of side effects • Elevated prolactin • Weight gain • Obesity • Diabetes • Metabolic syndrome • Weight gain higher in women • Ziprasidone and Aripirazole were least likely to cause weight gain in women.9

  13. Objectives • Describe/compare rates of obesity . • Investigate factors leading to increased obesity. • Describe/compare characteristics of women with BMI above 40.

  14. Hypothesis • Women will have a higher percent prevalence of obesity compared to men at Patton State Hospital. • Women with a BMI above 40 will have a higher BMI at admission, but will not have a higher weight change compared to women with BMIs below 30.

  15. Methods • BMIs from November 6th, 2013 • 1455 patients • 15 women with BMI over 40 • 15 women with BMI under 30 • Further data collected through Computrition and patient charts • Statistical analysis with StatPlus.

  16. Results

  17. Results-Obesity Rates by Unit

  18. Results-Women Comparison • Average age of women • BMI above 40: 48.9 years • BMI below 30: 47.7 years

  19. Results- Diet Comparison

  20. Results- Medical Condition Comparison

  21. Results- BMI Comparison

  22. Results- Weight Change and Length of Stay

  23. Results- Weight Change and Antipsychotic Medications

  24. Discussion • BMI greater than 30 at Patton: • Women:52.7% • Men: 37.1% • Inherent differences between men and women • Varied effects of antipsychotics

  25. Discussion: • Type of Unit • Unit 32 and 36 most overweight • Diet • Age • Weight Change • Medications

  26. Limitations • Observational Study • Small Sample Size • Human Error

  27. Conclusion • Supporting original hypothesis women had higher BMI then men. • Contrary to original hypothesis women with higher BMI gained more weight. • Overall, weight gain is expected for most patients entering Patton State Hospital. • Recommendation: Make the regular diet for women lower calorie.
