Healthy Weight Overview Robert Sigh, MD Senior Clinical Advisor, North Central Division U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration Bureau of Primary Health Care 4
National Obesity • 20 years ago no state had an obesity • rate higher than 20% • In 2010, no state had an obesity rate lower than 20% • The US average is roughly 33% obese 5
Defining Obesity Calculate BMI: Weight (lb) / (Height (in) x Height (in)) x 703 6
The Trouble with Obesity • Nearly ½ of HC patients are obese • Obesity accounts for 2/3 of Type 2 diabetes, as well as drives hypertension, high cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, osteoarthritis, certain types of cancer and more • Cost the US $147 billion in 2009, double from 1999 • Loss of life expectancy of 8-10 years, same as smoking!

Obesity in Community Health Centers Shikha Anand, MD, MPH Director of Obesity Programs National Initiative for Children’s Healthcare Quality Pediatrician, Codman Square Health Center 14
The Concern • More than one-third of children ages 10–17 are obese (16.4%) or overweight (18.2%). • State-specific rates ranged from a low of 9.6 percent in Oregon to a high of 21.9 percent in Mississippi. • A 2009 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the direct and indirect cost of obesity "is as high as $147 billion annually" or 9.1 percent of medical spending in the US. • Relationship to diabetes, hypertension, cardiac disease, hyperlipidemia, depression. • Poor and minority children are disproportionately overweight and obese. 15
Factors that Impact Obesity in Underserved Communities • Limited access to healthy affordable foods • Food Deserts – limited numbers of full scale grocery stores • Limited access to fresh produce through farmers markets and other outlets • Easy access to unhealthy foods • Increasing portion sizes • Unhealthy foods prevalent in schools and workplaces • Abundance of unhealthy foods in drug stores, convenience stores, bodegas • Targeted marketing of high-energy-dense foods and sugar drinks 17
Factors that Impact Obesity in Underserved Communities • No safe and appealing place in many communities to be active • High rates of television and media use, limiting physical activity • Limited community support for breastfeeding • Effect of parenting styles/skills impacting feeding behaviors/ food choices for children • Cultural barriers to weight loss – body image, food insecurity 18
Impact on CHCs • Fewer than one of five overweight patients were told they were overweight by their provider. • Slightly over half of obese patients reported being told they were overweight by their provider. • Patients told they were overweight by a health provider were almost nine times as likely to believe their weight was damaging to their health as those who were not told this. • After adjusting for provider advice regarding weight status, both Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic patients were half as likely as white patients to believe their weight was damaging to their health. N. H. Durant, B. Bartman, S. D. Person et al., "Patient Provider Communication About the Health Effects of Obesity," Patient Education and Counseling, published online Nov. 26, 2008 19
Obesity Measures • Meaningful Use/ UDS • Children: Percentage of patients aged 2 to 17 for whom BMI percentile, counseling for nutrition, and counseling for physical activity are documented • Adults: Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older with a calculated BMI in the past six months or during the current visit documented in the medical record AND if the most recent BMI is outside parameters, a follow-up plan is documented 20
Obesity Measures • HEDIS • Children: Children ages 3–17 years who had an outpatient visit with a PCP or OB/GYN and evidence of BMI percentile documentation, counseling for nutrition, counseling for physical activity and counseling for screen time during the measurement year • Adults: Percent members 18-74 years of age who had an outpatient visit and who had their BMI documented during the measurement year or the year prior the measurement year 21
What You Can Do in Your CHC • Incorporate obesity prevention, and management into preventive visits • Conduct planned visits, consider using team-based care • Understand resources in your community for healthy eating and active living, including farmers markets, CSAs, parks, community walks, other organized programs for physical activity • Partner with community programs to promote healthy eating and active living – CHC-based physical activity programs, farmers market prescriptions, etc. • Advocate for policy, systems and environmental changes 22
Preventive Visits For all patients: • Obtain BMI, consider waist circumference in adults • Assess weight status (underweight, healthy weight, overweight, obese) • Provide information about recommended eatingand activity (also consider breastfeeding and sleep) For patients who are overweight or obese: • Assess patient/ family readiness to make changes • Assess comorbiditiesand determine treatment based on algorithm • Create a healthy weight plan including lifestyle goals, treatment, and plan for follow up 23
Assessing and Classifying BMI • Remember to measure height • Calculate BMI (weight in kg/ height in m2) • In children: use age and gender based CDC curves for BMI percentiles, available at: http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/clinical_charts.htm • In adults: • Underweight <18.5 kg/m2 • Normal weight 18.5–24.9 kg/m2 • Overweight 25–29.9 kg/m2 • Obesity (Class 1) 30–34.9 kg/m2 • Obesity (Class 2) 35–39.9 kg/m2 • Extreme obesity (Class 3) ≥40 kg/m2 http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/prc 24
Dietary Recommendations Fruits and Vegetables: • Make half of each plate fruits and vegetables • 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day • Fresh is better than frozen which is better than canned Grains: Make at least half of grains whole Beverages: • Drink water instead of sugary drinks • Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk Portion Control: • Enjoy your food, but eat less, consider reducing plate size • Avoid oversized portions: buffets, supersize http://www.choosemyplate.gov/food-groups/downloads/MyPlate/MyPlateCommunityToolkit.pdf 25
Activity recommendations Children1: • 60 minutes (1 hour) or more of physical activity daily • 120 minutes (2 hours) or less of screen time daily Adults2: • All adults should set a long-term goal to accumulate at least 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity physical activity on most, and preferably all, days of the week. • Initially, encourage moderate levels of activity for 30 to 40 minutes per day, three to five days per week. • Set a long-term goal to accumulate at least 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity physical activity on most, preferably all, days of the week. • http://www.cdc.gov • http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/prc 26
Moderate Physical Activity Examples Common Chores Sporting Activities Playing volleyball for 45–60 minutes Playing touch football for 45 minutes Walking 1 3/4 miles in 35 minutes (20 min/mile) Basketball (shooting baskets) for 30 minutes Bicycling 5 miles in 30 minutes Water aerobics for 30 minutes Swimming laps for 20 minutes Basketball (playing a game) for 15–20 minutes Jumping rope for 15 minutes Running 11/2 miles in 15 minutes (15 min/mile) • Washing and waxing a car for 45–60 minutes • Washing windows or floors for 45–60 minutes • Gardening for 30–45 minutes • Wheeling self in wheelchair for 30–40 minutes • Pushing a stroller 1 1/2 miles in 30 minutes • Raking leaves for 30 minutes • Walking 2 miles in 30 minutes (15 min/mile) • Shoveling snow for 15 minutes • Stairwalking for 15 minutes 27
Evaluating Readiness/ Goal Setting • Evaluate readiness: • reasons and motivation for weight loss • previous attempts at weight loss • support expected from family and friends • understanding of risks and benefits of weight loss • attitudes toward physical activity • time availability • potential barriers to the patient’s adoption of change • Consider motivational interviewing techniques • Set self-management goals • Consider food and activity diary to develop discrepancies between goals and practice 28
Weight Loss • Children: • For growing children, goal is to maintain weight and decrease BMI as height increases • For adolescents who are growing slowly or not at all, use adult recommendations • Adults: • Initially, attempt to reduce body weight by approximately 10 percent from baseline. With success, attempt further weight loss, if indicated, through further assessment. • Reduce weight at a rate of about 1 to 2 lb per week for six months. An individually planned diet creating a deficit of 500 to 1,000 kcal per day should be an integral part of any program aimed at achieving a weight loss of 1 to 2 lb per week. • Base subsequent strategies on the amount of weight lost 29
Managing Obesity in Children Pediatric Treatment Guidelines PEDIATRICS Vol. 120 Supplement December 2007, pp. S164-S192 30
Managing Obesity in Adults Pharmacotherapy • BMI ≥30 kg per m2 with no accompanying obesity-related risk factors or diseases, and for patients with a BMI ≥27 kg per m2 accompanying obesity-related risk factors or diseases. • Not effective after cessation of drug therapy. Surgery • BMI ≥40 kg per m2 or with a BMI ≥35 kg per m2 with comorbid conditions) when less invasive methods have failed and the patient is at high risk for obesity-related morbidity and mortality. • Snow V et al. Ann Intern Med 2005;142:525-531, http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/prc 31
Planned Obesity Visits • Both adult and pediatric guidelines emphasize frequent follow up – planned obesity visits • Determine treatment response • Reinforce self-management plan and set new goals • Can be difficult to conduct in usual clinic flow • Consider team-based obesity care model • Care is reorganized so that provider, nutritionist and CHW are all accessible to family at the same time • Provider champion: cardiovascular risk assessment, family history review, lab analysis, physical exam, billing • Nutritionist: 24 hour food recall, skipped meal, sweetened beverage and fruit and vegetable consumption, billing • CHW: activity assessment, local activity resources • All: motivational interviewing/ health behavior change techniques, goal setting Anand et al, Health Aff April 2010 vol. 29 no. 4 712-717 32
Beyond the Clinical Encounter • Partner with community and public health agencies to create innovative programs and consistent messages for families • Create more opportunities for healthy eating and physical activity at your CHC • Advocate for policy, systems, and environmental change in your community • Schools: Healthy food options, daily quality physical education • Community: • Encourage the food industry to provide reasonable food and beverage portion sizes • Encourage food outlets to increase the availability of low-calorie, nutritious food items • Create opportunities for physical activity in communities • Connect to a national movement 33
