  1. Obesity and Health

  2. Trends in obesity • Why people become obese • Are we succeeding in managing obesity? • Other illnesses associated with obesity • Good diet for a healthy life

  3. men 25 women 20 15 10 5 0 1991 1995 1998 2002 Prevalence of Obesity (England) % population DoH (2002) Health Survey for England 2002 DH:England

  4. Nearly 1 in 4 obese % overweight BMI >25 70% men 63% women 16% children obese trebled in 10 years projected to 2020: 1 in 3 adults obese 1 in 2 children obese Looking at the trends

  5. 18 million sick days a year 30,000 premature deaths a year 40,000 lost years of working life shorten life by 9 years £ 1/2 billion a year in treatment costs to NHS (5% total NHS budget) £ 2 billion a year on wider economy Massive social burden ...‘the last remaining socially acceptable form of prejudice’ Psychological problems Effects on the nation

  6. What happens if you are Obese? • Die earlier • More likely to get Diabetes • More likely to have Coronary Heart disease • More likely to have increased blood pressure

  8. Causes of Obesity No single reason – combination of many things: • Social & environmental problem, not a medical one • Reduction in physical activity/sedentary lifestyle • Changes in eating patterns • Other e.g. Psychological, metabolic, genetic etc. • Susceptible groups e.g. Social class, ethnic minorities, family overweight, women with children

  9. Are we succeeding in managing obesity? Most obese patients will not stay in treatment; of those that do most will not lose weight; and of those who do lose weight … …most will regain it.

  10. Benefits from 10% Weight Loss • Mortality >20% fall in total mortality >30% fall in DM related deaths >40% fall in obesity related deaths • Blood pressure fall of 10 mmHg systolic fall of 20 mmHg diastolic • Diabetes fall of 50% in fasting glucose 50% less likely to develop • Lipids fall of 10% total cholesterol fall of 15% LDL fall of 30% triglycerides increase of 8% HDL

  11. Effective Treatment of Obesity DIET & WEIGHT LOSS : A review of 86 RCT • An average weight loss of 8% can be obtained over 3 -12 months. • VLCD produce greater initial weight losses, but over the long term (>1 year) weight loss is not different from LCD. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ON WEIGHT LOSS: A review of 23 RCT • Physical activity results in moderate weight loss, independently increases cardiorespiratory fitness and decreases CVD risk. • Physical activity is an important predictor of weight maintenance.

  12. CHD risk in people who are obese? • Main cause of excess mortality among obese people is CHD (National Audit Office, 2001; BNF 1999)  UK obesity epidemic is threatening to reverse the current decline in deaths from CHD. (BHF, 2004)

  13. Diabetes • 80% of people with Type II diabetes are overweight. • Diet is a key factor in the management of diabetes.

  14. Increased physical activity enhances weight maintenance 0 2 Non-exercise 4 6 Weight change from baseline (kg) 8 10 Exercise 12 14 8 18 4 8 Treatment (weeks) Follow up (months) Pavlou et al, Am J Clin Nutr 1989; 49:1110–1114

  15. CHD risk in people with diabetes Increased risk 2-5 fold - Why?   LDL cholesterol/  HDL cholesterol  Hypertension  Hyperglycaemia  Smoking (Ref’s: DOH, 2000; Turner, 1998; Lehto 1996, Kussisto,1994; Morgan, 2000)

  16. Eat right for a healthy heart

  17. How to reduce Blood Pressure  Reduce sodium - salt  Natural potassium i.e. fruit and vegetables & unprocessed foods  Reduced weight  Adequate calcium intake

  18. How to reduce lipids • Replacement of saturated fats with unsaturated • Ideally mono-unsaturated olive/rapeseed oil • Soluble fibre e.g. oats, fruit & veg • Soy protein (47g/d!)

  19. Stage of Behaviour Change Stable “safer” lifestyle Making Changes Maintaining Changes Preparing to Change Thinking about change Relapsing Interested in changing “risky” lifestyle
