Obesity in the United States
Approximately 66% (or two thirds) of U.S. adults are overweight or obese.
Healthy People 2010: reduce the prevalence of obesity among adults to less than 15%.
The obesity rate increased from the late 1970’s to 2003 from 15 to nearly 33 percent.

Obesity in the U.S. Body mass index (BMI)
weight (kg)/ height squared (m2).
BMI is significantly correlated with total body fat content.
With a BMI of: You are considered:
Below 18.5 Underweight
18.5 - 24.9 Healthy Weight25.0 - 29.9 Overweight
30 or higher Obese

Obesity in the U.S.• Obesity is further divided
into three separate classes, with Class III obesity being the most extreme of the three.
Obesity class BMI (kg/m2)Class I 30.0- 34.9
Class II 35.0-39.9
Class III (Extreme Obesity)

Obesity in the United States In the United States, some
minority groups are more affected than others. Income and education are also related to obesity prevalence.
Some states have significantly higher rates of obesity than others.

Obesity in the U.S.Being overweight/obese substantially raises one’s risk of morbidity from:
Higher body weights are also associated with increases in
all-cause mortality.
Hypertension Dyslipidemia Type 2 Diabetes Coronary Heart Disease Stroke
Gallbladder Disease Osteoarthritis Sleep apnea Certain cancers
(endometrial, breast, prostate, colon)

Obesity in the U.S.Obesity is also associated with:
High blood cholesterol
Complications of pregnancy
Menstrual irregularities
Hirsutism (presence of excess body and facial hair)
Stress incontinence ( urine leakage caused by weak pelvic-floor muscles)
Psychological disorders such as depression
Increased surgical risk

What Causes Obesity?
Energy imbalance over a long period of time.
Energy in > Energy out. Excess calories and lack of
physical activity. Energy balance is like a scale. When
calories consumed are greater than
calories used, weight gain is the result.

OverweightThe Right Approach
1. BMI is 30 or above, or2. BMI is between 25 and 30 and:
1. You have other health conditions
3. Waist measures > 35 inches (women) or > 40 inches (men) and:

Weight Loss Programs
Healthy eating plans that reduces caloric intake Regular physical activity and/or exercise instruction Tips on healthy behavior Slow and steady weight loss of about ¾ to 2 pounds a week Medical care if needed A plan to keep the weight off after you have lost it
Any safe and effective weight-loss program should include these components:

Physical Activity
2009
Physical InactivityIn the U.S.
Many studies show that Americans are too sedentary. Due to
Increased use of technology. Increased use of automobiles.
CDC
According to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, in 2000 more than 26 percent of adults reported no leisure time physical activity.
2009
Physical InactivityIn the U.S.
Physical inactivity contributes to premature deaths. Rates differ by race and ethnicity.
Hispanic women - most inactive Hon-Hispanic women – second Asian and Pacific islander women – third and, lastly, White non-Hispanic women - fourth.

Physical Activity Occupational work
Carpentry, construction, waiting tables, farming
Household chores Washing floors or windows, gardening, or yard work
Leisure time activities Walking, skating, biking, swimming, playing Frisbee,
dancing, softball, tennis, football, aerobics
CDC

Physical Activity
Physical activity decreases the risk for: Colon cancer Diabetes High blood pressure
Physical activity also helps to: Control weight Contribute to healthy bones, muscles,
and joints Reduce falls among the elderly Relieve the pain of arthritis.
Regular physical activity is good for overall health.
CDC

How Much Physical Activity a Day?
To reduce the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood: Engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, above usual activity, at work or home on most days of the week.
To help manage weight and prevent gradual, unhealthy weight gain in adulthood: Engage in approximately 60 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity activity on most days of the week while not exceeding caloric intake requirements.
To sustain weight loss in adulthood: Participate in at least 60 to 90 minutes of daily moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity while not exceeding caloric intake requirements. (Some may need to contact their healthcare provider before participating in this level of activity.)
The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend the following for adults:

Tips for Healthy Eating
1. Make half your grains whole2. Vary your veggies3. Focus on fruit4. Get your calcium rich foods5. Go lean with protein6. Find your balance between food and physical activity
MyPyramid, which is the newest Food Guide Pyramid, recommends the following for a healthy lifestyle:
MyPyramid: http://mypyramid.gov/
2009
A Healthy Diet
Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat milk, & milk products; Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.
The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans defines a healthy diet as one that:
MyPyramid: http://mypyramid.gov/
2009
1. Adequate Nutrients Within Calorie Needs Consume a variety of nutrient-dense foods (whole grains, fruits and vegetables,
lean meats, low-fat dairy) and beverages within and among the basic food groups while choosing foods that limit the intake of saturated fats and trans fats, cholesterol, added sugars, salt, and alcohol.
Meet recommended intakes within energy needs by adopting a balanced eating pattern, such as the USDA Food Guide or the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Eating Plan.

4. Food Groups to Encourage Consume a sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables while
staying within energy needs. Choose a variety of fruits and vegetables each day. Select
from all five vegetable subgroups (dark green, orange, legumes, starchy vegetables, and other vegetables) several times a week.
Consume 3 or more ounce-equivalents of whole-grain products per day, with the rest of the recommended grains coming from enriched or whole-grain products. At least half the grains should come from whole grains.
Consume 3 cups per day of fat-free or low-fat milk or equivalent milk products.

5. Fats Keep total fat intake between 20 - 35 percent of calories
(With most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, such as fish, nuts, and vegetable oils).
Limit intake of fats and oils high in saturated and/or trans fatty acids, and choose products low in such fats and oils.
Consume less than 10 percent of calories from saturated fatty acids Consume less than 300 mg/day of cholesterol Keep trans fatty acid consumption as low as possible When selecting and preparing meat, poultry, dry beans, and milk or milk
products, make choices that are lean, low-fat, or fat-free.

6. Carbohydrates Choose fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, and whole grains often. Choose and prepare foods and beverages with little added sugars or caloric sweeteners. Reduce the incidence of dental caries by practicing good oral hygiene and consuming
sugar- and starch-containing foods and beverages less frequently.
7. Sodium and Potassium Consume less than 2,300 mg (approximately 1 teaspoon of salt) of sodium per day. Choose and prepare foods with little salt. At the same time, consume potassium-rich
foods, such as fruits and vegetables.

8. Alcoholic Beverages Those who choose to drink alcoholic beverages should do so sensibly and in
moderation (≤ 1 drink for women/day and ≤ 2 drinks for men/day). Alcoholic beverages should be avoided by individuals engaging in activities that
require attention, skill, or coordination, such as driving or operating machinery. Alcoholic beverages should not be consumed by some individuals, including:
those who cannot restrict their alcohol intake, women of childbearing age who may become pregnant, pregnant and lactating women, children and adolescents, individuals taking medications that can interact with alcohol, and those with specific medical conditions.

9. Food Safety To avoid microbial food borne illness:
Clean hands, food contact surfaces, fruits, and vegetables. Meat and poultry should not be washed or rinsed.
Separate raw, cooked, and ready-to-eat foods while shopping, preparing, or storing foods.
Cook foods to a safe temperature to kill microorganisms. Chill (refrigerate) perishable food promptly and defrost foods properly. Avoid raw (unpasteurized) milk or any products made from unpasteurized milk,
raw or partially cooked eggs or foods containing raw eggs, raw or undercooked meat and poultry, unpasteurized juices, and raw sprouts.

Weight loss: Goals for WeightManagement of Weight Lost
2009
Calorie DeficitNeeded For Weight Loss
A calorie deficit of no more than 500 kcal/day. This can be achievable through the combination of diet + exercise. An example of how to create a calorie deficit of 500 kcal/day through diet + exercise
would be: eating 250 kcal less per day, along with burning 250 calories through exercise
ACS
2009
Calorie DeficitNeeded For Weight Loss
Eating 250 kcal less per day: Leave out mayonnaise in a
sandwich Leave out dessert Switch from soft drinks to water Reduce portion sizes
burning 250 calories through exercise: Walk for 30 minutes Swimming 25 yards Bicycling for 30 minutes
A caloric deficit of 500 can be done by:
2009
Exercise + DietingCalorie Deficit
Initially physical activity, in combination with dieting, is an important component of weight loss.
However, after around 6 months, physical activity will not lead to substantially greater weight losses when combined with dieting.
The benefit of sustained physical activity thereafter is mainly through its role in the prevention of weight gain.
In addition, it has a benefit in reducing cardiovascular and diabetes risks beyond that produced by weight gain alone.
NHLBI
2009
Goals for Weight LossAnd Management
The initial goal of weight loss therapy is to reduce body weight by approximately 10 percent from baseline. Once this goal is achieved, then further weight loss can be attempted, if necessary.
A reasonable time line for a 10 percent reduction in body weight is 6 months.
Experience reveals that lost weight is usually regained unless a weight maintenance program, consisting of diet therapy, physical activity and behavior therapy, is continued indefinitely.
NHLBI
2009
Goals for Weight LossAnd Management
For overweight individuals with BMIs in the typical range of 27 to 35 kg/m2, a decrease of 300 to 500 kcal/day will result in weight losses of about ½ to 1 lb per week.
A 10 percent weight loss could be achieved within 6 months. For more severely obese individuals (BMI > 35), deficits of up to 500 to 1,000 kcal/day
will lead to weight losses of about 1 to 2 lb per week. A 10 percent weight loss could be achieved within 6 months.
NHLBI
2009
Goals for Weight LossAnd Management
After 6 months of weight loss treatment, the individual should be assessed. If no further weight loss is needed, then the current weight should be maintained. Sustained physical activity is particularly important in the prevention of weight regain. If further weight loss is desired, another attempt at weight reduction can be made.
