  1. ObesityA Weighty Problem

  2. The “Top 10” The Associated Press

  3. The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity: • Inadequate sleep. (Average sleep amounts have fallen, and many studies tie sleep deprivation to weight gain.)

  4. The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity: 2. Endocrine disruptors, which are substances in some foods that might alter fats in the body.

  5. The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity: 3. Nice temperatures. (Air conditioning and heating limit calories burned from sweating and shivering.)

  6. The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity: 4. Fewer people smoking. (Less appetite suppression.)

  7. The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity: 5. Medicines that cause weight gains

  8. The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity: 6. Population changes. (More middle-agers and Hispanics, who have higher obesity rates.)

  9. The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity: 7. Older birth moms. (That correlates with heavier children.)

  10. The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity: 8. Genetic influences during pregnancy

  11. The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity: 9. Darwinian natural selection. (Fat people out survive skinny ones).

  12. The “Top 10” alternative reasons for obesity 10. Assortative mating, or like mating with like,” Allison puts it. Translation: fat people procreating with others of the same body type, gradually skewing the population toward the heavy end.

  13. Obesity Related Morbidity • The estimated number of deaths attributable to obesity among US adults is approximately 280,000.

  14. Obesity Related Morbidity • The estimated number of deaths attributable to obesity for nonsmokers is approximately 325,000

  15. Obesity • AHA and NIH have recognized obesity as a major modifiable risk factor for CHD • Obesity is a risk factor for development of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia • Obesity also linked to insulin resistance, particular intraabdominal fat estimated by waist circumference

  16. The Theories of Obesity Fall Into Three Categories

  17. Genetic Influence of Human Variation in Body Fat

  18. Defining Obesity • Body Mass Index (BMI)= Weight divided by Height squared (kg/m 2). • Normal Weight: 18.5 to 24.9 • Overweight: 25.0 to 29.9 • Obese I: 30.0 to 34.9 • Obese II: 35.0 to 39.9 • Obese III: > 40

  19. Relationship Between Cardiovascular Disease and Their Risk Factors

  20. Disease Risk Associated with Overweight and Obesity • “Disease risk in early life is associated with respiratory conditions and several risk factors for coronary heart disease and is predictive of hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease and all-cause mortality.” • Other risk factors include certain types of cancers, high blood cholesterol level, gall bladder disease, and osteoarthritis.

  21. Prevalence and Risk of Obesity • NHANES III shows approximately 60% of men and 50% of women are obese or overweight, with 20% of men and 25% of women having a BMI of 30 or greater • BMI 27-29 associated with a RR of total mortality of 1.6, BMI 29-32 RR 2.1, and BMI >=32 RR 2.2 vs. BMI <19 from Nurses’ Health Study.

  22. Increasing Prevalence of Overweight and Obesity • Obesity has increased in every state, in both sexes, across all age groups, educational levels, and smoking statuses. • Over the last 3 decades there has been a 25% increase in the number of people who qualify as overweight.

  23. Percentage of Overweight and Obesity in the United States • For adults 25 years and older the percentage of people who qualify as overweight is 63% for men and 55% for women. • Specifically, 42% of men and 28% of women are overweight. While 21% of men and 27% of women are obese.

  27. Age-Adjusted Standardized Prevalence of Overweight(BMI 25–29.9) and Obesity (BMI >30) Percent BMI 25–29.9 BMI > 30 CDC/NCHS, United States, 1960-94, ages 20-74 years

  28. NHANES III Age-Adjusted Prevalence of Hypertension* According to BMI Percent *Defined as mean systolic blood pressure  140 mm Hg, as mean diastolic  90 mm Hg, or currently taking antihypertensive medication.

  29. NHANES III Age-Adjusted Prevalence of High Blood Cholesterol* According to BMI Percent *Defined as > 240 mg/dL. Brown C et al. Body Mass Index and the Prevalence of Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease (in preparation).

  30. NHANES III Age-Adjusted Prevalence of Low HDL-Cholesterol* According to BMI Percent *Defined as <35 mg/dL in men and <45 mg/dL in women. Brown C et al. Body Mass Index and the Prevalence of Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease (in preparation).
