  2. WHY WORR ABOUT PEDIDATRIC OBESITY?

  3. INTRODUCTION • Pediatric obesity is of epidemic proportion • Pediatric obesity is the most common chronic disease of childhood

  4. Figure IV: Percent of obese children and adolescents

  5. IS PEDIATRIC OBESITY A REAL HEALTH ISSUE OR JUST A COSMETIC PROBLEM?

  6. ADULT OBESITY • Type II Diabetes • Coronary Heart Disease • Hypertension • Cancer • Joint Disease • Gallbladder Disease • Pulmonary Disease

  7. RISK OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY PERSISTING INTO ADULTHOOD • Guo 1999 • 20% at 4 years of age • 80% in adolescence

  8. IMPACT OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY ON ADULT HEALTH • Childhood obesity has significant impact on health in adulthood • Hoffmans 1998 • Dutch adolescent males followed for 32 years • Increased mortality in obese vs. lean

  9. IMPACT OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY ON ADULT HEALTH • Mossberg 1989 • Swedish adolescents studied after 40 years • Increased mortality in obese vs. non-obese

  10. IMPACT OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY ON ADULT HEALTH • Must, 1992:Harvard growth study • 13-18 year old adolescents • 1922-1935, evaluated 1988 • Obesity: BMI >75% on at least two occasions during adolescence

  11. IMPACT OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY ON ADULT HEALTH • Increased all cause mortality in males and females • Increased mortality from CAD in males • Increased morbidity from CAD in males and females • Increased risk of colon cancer in males • Increased risk of arthritis in females

  12. IMPACT OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY ON ADULT HEALTH • Obesity in childhood was a more powerful predictor of these risks than obesity in adulthood!

  13. CHILDHOOD COMPLICATIONS OF PEDIATRIC OBESITY

  14. PSYCHOSOCIAL • Most common complication of childhood obesity • Self • Increased rates of depression • Poor self esteem • May carry over into adulthood • Children are sensitized to obesity at young age

  15. PSYCHOSOCIAL • Self • Mellbin, 1989 • Increased rates of behavior and learning problems in those gaining weight rapidly • Etiology uncertain, ? Sleep apnea

  16. PEER RELATIONSHIPS • Richardson, 1961 • 10-11 year old children prefer friends with various handicaps vs. obese • Staffieri, 1967 • Children 6-10 years of age associate obesity with laziness • Obese children may choose younger friends, less judgmental

  17. PSYCHOSOCIAL • Adult Relationships • May have false expectations of child based on their size

  18. SOCIETAL DISCRIMINATION Canning, 1966 • Acceptance rates at college lower for obese than non-obese females with the same credentials National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1993 • Obese adolescent females as young adults had less education, less income, higher poverty rate, and decreased rates of marriage

  19. ENDOCRINE COMPLICATIONS • Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus • Pinhas-Hamiel 1994 • The incidence of NIDDM has increased 10 fold • One third of new diabetic children 10-19 years of age had Type II DM • 92% of these had a BMI >90% • Geisinger weight management program • 1-2% have type II DM

  20. ENDOCRINE COMPLICATIONS • Insulin resistance • Elevated fasting insulin levels with normal Hgb A1C • Ratio of fasting insulin to glucose • Adult female: normal <1:4 • Normal for children not established • First step towards developing Type II DM

  21. Obesity Insulin Resistance Metabolic Syndrome Syndrome Type 2DM Hypertension NASH Dyslipidemia PCOS

  22. ENDOCRINE COMPLICATIONS • Geisinger weight management program • 60% have insulin resistance • 10% have fasting insulin level > 100 (Nl <17)

  23. ENDOCRINE COMPLICATIONS • Acanthosis nigricans • Velvety, hyperpigmented, thickened skin • Associated with obesity and insulin resistance • Not sensitive for insulin resistance • Resolves with weight loss

  24. ENDOCRINE COMPLICATIONS • Increased linear growth initially • Growth plates may close earlier • Advanced bone age • Earlier onset of puberty

  25. POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME Hyperandrogenism • Ovarian dysfunction • Oligomenorrhea • Amenorrhea • 55% of adolescent females have polycystic ovaries on US • Cutaneous manifestations • Hirsuitism • Acne • Acanthosis nigricans

  26. POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME • Insulin resistance • Hyperlipidemia • Infertility • Premature adrenarche • Bacha F, Arslanian S. Enod Trends 11(1)2004

  27. HYPERTENSION • Hypertension • Primary hypertension uncommon in childhood • 60% of children with persistently elevated blood pressure had weight >120% IBW • Lauer J Pediatr 1975;86:697-706. • Use pediatric standards • Geisinger weight management program • 45% have hypertension

  28. HYPERTENSION • Risk • Overweight adolescents have 8.5 fold risk of hypertension as adults. • Srinivasan Metab 1996;45:235-240. • Cardiac hypertrophy/LVH on ultrasound. • Long term risk of CVD and stroke

  29. DYLIPIDEMIA • The atherosclerotic process beings in childhood (Bogalusa Heart Study) • Lipid levels tend to track with age

  30. DYLIPIDEMIA • Overweight during adolescence associated with • 2.4 fold increase in prevalence of cholesterol >240mg/dl • 3 fold increase in LDL values >160mg/dl • 8 fold increase in HDL values<35 mg/dl in adults 27-31 years • Srinivasan Metab 1996;45:235-240.

  31. DYLIPIDEMIA • Geisinger weight management program • 45% have hypercholesterolemia • Range of abnormal cholesterol: 175-338 • Freeman 1999 • 65% of obese 5-10 year old children have at least one cardiovascular disease risk factor • 25% of obese 5-10 year old children have 2 or more risk factors

  32. NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE • Hepatic steatosis • Increased fat in the liver • Steatohepatitis associated with liver inflammation and elevated liver enzymes • 20%-25% obese children have evidence of steatohepatitis • Tazawa Acta Paeditr 1997;86:238-241

  33. INSULIN RESISTANCE AND FAT DEPOSITION Muscle Insulin resistance insulin Insulin resistance Liver Insulin resistance Free Fatty Acids

  34. NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE • Liver disease can progress to fibrosis or frank cirrhosis • Obesity and type 2 diabetes are the strongest predictors of progression of fibrosis • Age is also a risk factor for cirrhosis which may reflect increased duration of risk for the “second hit” thought to initiate fibrosis. • Angulo P, Keach JC, Batts KP, Lindor KD. Hepatology 1999;30(6):1356-62

  35. NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE • Rashid • 83% of children with steatohepatitis were obese • 75% had fibrosis-cirrhosis • Geisinger weight management program • 50 % have hepatomegaly • 15% have elevated liver enzymes

  36. CHOLELITHIASIS • Uncommon in children • Increased risk in those with hemolytic disorders • Obesity accounts for 8%-33% of gallstones in children • Friesen Clin Pediatr 1989.7:294 • May be associated with weight loss • Crichlow Dig Dis. 1972;17:68-72

  37. CHOLELITHIASIS • Relative risk of gallstones in adolescent girls with obesity is 4.2 • Honore Arch Surg 1980;115:62-64 • 50% of cholecystitis in adolescents associated with obesity • Crichlow Dig Dis. 1972;17:68-72

  39. SLIPPED CAPITAL FEMORAL EPIPHYSIS • Diagnosis • Physical examination • Motion of the hip in abduction and internal rotation is limited on examination. • Xray • AP view of pelvis to include both hips • Bilateral disease occurs in up to 20% of patients • Medial and posterior displacement of the femoral epiphysis through the growth plate relative to the femoral neck • Busch MT. Orthop Clin North Am 1987;18(4):637-47

  40. BLOUNT’S DISEASE • Diagnosis • Bowing of tibia and femur either unilateral or bilateral. • Etiology • Results from overgrowth of the medial aspect of the proximal tibial metaphysis • 2/3 of patients with Blount’s disease are obese • Dietz J Pediatr 1982:101:735-737 • Treatment • Surgery associated with weight loss

  41. OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA • OSAS in children is defined as a disorder of breathing during sleep characterized by: • prolonged partial upper airway obstruction • and/or intermittent complete obstruction (obstructive apnea) • that disrupts normal ventilation during sleep and normal sleep patterns • Schechter MS. Technical report: diagnosis and management of childhood obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Pediatrics 2002;109(4):e69-79.

  42. OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA • 40% of severely obese children demonstrated central hypoventilation • Silvesti Pediatr Pulmonol 1993;16:124-139 • Abnormal sleep patterns reported in 94% of obese children studied • Kahn A, Mozin MJ, Rebuffat E, Sottiaux M, Burniat W, Shepherd S, et al.
