Obesity & Overweight as an Independent Risk Factor Outline Obesity trends/statistics Body mass index (BMI) Associated risks/disease CHA detection project findings A little can do a lot…examples Future strategies Questions/comments

1998 Obesity Trends* Among U.S. Adults BRFSS, 1990, 1998, 2006 (*BMI 30, or about 30 lbs. overweight for 5’4” person) No Data <10% 10%–14% 15%–19% 20%–24% 25%–29% ≥30%

U.S. Economic Consequences Totals: $51.5 $78.5 $26.8 $47.5

What does it mean to be overweight or obese? Above healthy weight range Determined by body mass index (BMI) Result of energy imbalance Increased risk of various health problems

Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculated using weight and height Weight (kg) / [height (m)]2 or Weight (lb) / [height (in)]2 x 703 Indicator of body fatness Inexpensive and easy-to-perform Used for screening, not diagnosing Age and sex specific for children

BMI Interpretation BMIWeight Status Below 18.5Underweight 18.5 – 24.9Normal 25.0 – 29.9Overweight 30.0 and AboveObese

So What’s the BIG Deal? Hypertension Osteoarthritis Dyslipidemia Type II diabetes Coronary heart disease Stroke Gallbladder disease Sleep apnea & respiratory problems Certain cancers Endometrial Breast Colon Increased risk of developing:

Coronary Heart Disease Uncontrollable risks: Age, gender, genetics Modifiable risks: Smoking, high cholesterol & blood pressure, physical inactivity, obesity & overweight, diabetes mellitus, stress “The Metabolic Syndrome”

The Metabolic Syndrome Over 50 million Americans Characterized by: Elevated waist circumference Elevated triglycerides Reduced HDL Elevated blood pressure Elevated fasting glucose

There Still Exists a Controversy Does excess weight have additional impact on cardiovascular outcomes beyond its effects on other risk factors? Should patients control their weight if their blood pressure and cholesterol levels are not high?

Chicago Heart Association Detection Project (CHA) men & women Aged 31 to 64 years No CHD or diabetes at baseline Main outcomes (after age 65): Hospitalization/mortality from CHD, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes

CHA Study Objective To assess relationship of midlife BMI with morbidity & mortality in older age among individuals with and without other major risk factors at baseline

CHA Study Conclusion For individuals with no cardiovascular risk factors as well as for those with 1 or more risk factors, those who are obese in middle age have a higher risk of hospitalization and mortality from CHD, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes in older age than those who are normal weight

A Little Can Mean a Lot Examples of benefits from weight loss…

It’s Not Rocket Science… Obesity is preventable & controllable Only 43% of obese persons are actually advised to lose weight during routine checkups As if we didn’t already know… Something needs to be done

Where Do We Go From Here? NIH Research Strategy to Fight Obesity Behavioral & environmental Lifestyle modifications Pharmacologic, surgical, other medical Decipher link between obesity & other diseases (DMII, CHD, cancer) Special populations Children, ethnicity, sex, age Disseminating research results to public & health professionals
