I have no relevant financial relationships with the manufacturers(s) of any commercial products(s) and/or provider of commercial services discussed in this CME activity. B. I do not intend to discuss an unapproved/investigative use of a commercial product/device in my presentation.
5 Alliance for a Healthier Generation 2011 There is no single cause and no single solution for childhood obesity. As a result, the Alliance works to positively affect the places that can make a difference in a child s health including homes, schools, doctor s offices and communities. The Alliance is leading the charge against the childhood obesity epidemic by engaging directly with industry leaders, educators, parents, healthcare professionals, and most importantly kids. Founded in 2005 by the American Heart Association and William J. Clinton Foundation, the goal of the Alliance is to reduce the nationwide prevalence of childhood obesity by 2015 and to inspire young people to develop lifelong healthy habits.
6 Childhood Obesity & Healthcare Nearly 1 in 3 children and teens in the United States is already overweight or obese. Overweight children and teens are more likely to develop serious health problems such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Healthcare professionals are eager to work with families around the prevention, assessment, and treatment of childhood obesity.
7 Healthier Generation Benefit Prevention, Assessment & Treatment The Alliance for a Healthier Generation convened national medical associations, leading insurers and employers to offer comprehensive health benefits to children and families for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity. Insurers and employers offer: at least four follow up appointments with a primary care provider at least four visits with a registered dietitian
8 Building from the Evidence Base Recommendations released in January 2010 from both the US Preventive Services Task Force, the Surgeon General, as well as the 2007 Expert Committee Recommendations for the Prevention, Assessment and Treatment of Obesity spotlight the importance of screening children a for obesity and clinicians referring patients as appropriate to programs to improve their weight status. These recommendations are aligned with the benefits the Healthier Generation Benefit offers children and their families. Healthier Generation Benefit is the place where these new best practices have real-world application.
9 Ground-breaking Childhood Obesity Benefits

14 SCREENING FOR OBESITY IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: CLINICAL SUMMARY OF USPSTF RECOMMENDATION 2010 Population Recommendation Children and adolescents 6 to 18 y of age Screen children aged 6 y and older for obesity. Offer or refer for intensive counseling and behavioral interventions. Grade: B Grade B Definition: The USPSTF recommends the service. There is high certainty that the net benefit is moderate or there is moderate certainty that the net benefit is moderate to substantial. Suggestions to practice: Offer/provide this service. USPSTF Levels of Certainty Regarding Net Benefit: Moderate American Academy of Pediatrics Commentary on USPSTF Recommendations Evidence for Effective Obesity Treatment: Pediatricians on the Right Track! (Jan 2010): recommends screening and intervention beginning at age two and older For a summary of the evidence systematically reviewed in making these recommendations, the full recommendation statement, and supporting documents please go to
15 SCREENING FOR OBESITY IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: CLINICAL SUMMARY OF USPTF RECOMMENDATION 2010 Screening tests BMI is calculated from the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters. Height and weight, from which BMI is calculated, are routinely measured during health maintenance visits. BMI percentile can be plotted on a chart or obtained from online calculators. Timing of screening Interventions Balance of harms and benefits Relevant recommendations from the USPSTF Overweight = age- and gender-specific BMI at 85th to 94th percentile Obesity = age- and gender-specific BMI at 95th percentile No evidence was found on appropriate screening intervals. Refer patients to comprehensive moderate- to high-intensity programs that include dietary, physical activity, and behavioral counseling components. Moderate- to high-intensity programs were found to yield modest weight changes. Limited evidence suggests that these improvements can be sustained over the year after treatment. Harms of screening were judged to be minimal. Recommendations on other pediatric and behavioral counseling topics can be found at
16 Let s Move! In February of 2010, the AAP joined First Lady Michelle Obama in support of her Let's Move! initiative to end childhood obesity within a generation! As part of the White House Initiative, the AAP pledges to engage in a range of efforts toward 2 primary goals: Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated for every child at every well-child visit in accordance with AAP recommendations*, and that information is provided to parents about how to help their child achieve a healthy weight; and Prescriptions for healthy active living (good nutrition and physical activity) are provided at every well-child visit, along with information for families about the impact of healthy eating habits and regular physical activity on overall health.^ * BMI measurement begins at the 24 month visit ^ These actions are consistent with existing AAP policy and Bright Futures Guidelines.
17 Call to Action Forces are lining up to create a wave of support for you and the children and families you treat the time is now! Momentum of Let s Move Evidence via the USPSTF recommendations More supporting policy environment focused on improving built environments, increasing access to healthy foods and physical activity, etc Nationwide media campaign starting Healthier Generation Benefit Tools and resources for providers and families
18 Clinical Care Recommendations Stages of the Expert Committee Recommendations Prevention Prevention Plus Structured Weight Management Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Intervention Tertiary Care Intervention
19 Prevention BMI 5%-84% - Diet Promote breastfeeding Diet and physical activity: 5 Five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day 2 Two or fewer hours of screen time per day, and no television in the room where the child sleeps 1 One hour or more of daily physical activity 0 No sugar-sweetened beverages
20 Prevention BMI 5%-84% - Diet Portions Age appropriate Parent s provide child decides Structure Breakfast Family dinners, no TV Limit fast food Balance Food groups Limit refined sugar
21 Prevention Plus BMI >85% Build on Prevention Eating behaviors: Family meals should happen at least 5-6 times per week Allowing the child to self-regulate his or her meals and avoiding overly restrictive behaviors Parents provide child decides
22 Prevention Plus -Physical Activity/Inactivity Advise 60 minutes of at least moderate physical activity per day and 20 minutes vigorous activity 3x/week Refer to community activity programs Encourage development of family activities Consider pedometer use Decrease level of sedentary behavior Limit screen time <2 hrs/day No TV/computer in bedroom
23 Structured Weight Management Stage 2 Weight maintenance that Decreasing BMI as age and height increases; Weight loss should not exceed 1 lb/month in children aged 2-11 years, Or an average of 2 lb/wk in older overweight/obese children and adolescents. If no improvement in BMI/weight after 3-6 months, patient should be advanced to Stage 3
24 Communication Positive discussion of what healthy lifestyle changes families can make (evidence base) Allow for personal family choices Have families set specific achievable goals and follow up with these on revisits Be aware of cultural norms, significance of meals and eating for family/community, beliefs about special foods, and feelings about body size.
25 When to partner Dietitians Mental Health Professionals Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Physical Activity Trainers, etc Others
26 Partnership with Families Any efforts to address obesity in children need to be made in partnership with their family. Families have a critical role in influencing a child s health Cohen RY et al Health Educ Q 1989;16; Effective interaction with families is the cornerstone of lifestyle change

31 Healthier Generation Benefit: Call To Action Pediatric Weight Management Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Recommendations for Registered Dietitians 31
32 What is Evidence-based Dietetics Practice? Evidence-Based Dietetics Practice is the use of systematically reviewed scientific evidence in making food and nutrition practice decisions by integrating best available evidence with professional expertise and client values to improve outcomes. ADA Scope of Dietetics Practice Framework: Approved by ADA House of Delegates 32
33 Pediatric Weight Management Excerpt from Executive Summary of Recommendations
34 Multi-component Program Interventions to reduce pediatric obesity should be multicomponent and include diet, physical activity, nutrition counseling and parent or caregiver participation. A large body of strong research indicates that clinically supervised, multi-component weight-management programs are more successful than single component programs for short-term and longer-term (more than one year) improvement in child and adolescent obesity. Strong Imperative 34
35 Nutrition Prescription A nutrition prescription should be formulated as part of the dietary intervention in a multi-component pediatric weightmanagement program. The exact specification of nutrients and energy is often translated into a specific eating plan. Nutrition interventions are selected based on the nutrition prescription. Research shows that when an individualized nutrition prescription is included, improvements in weight status in children and adolescents are consistent. When an individualized nutrition prescription is not included, results are less consistent. Strong Imperative 35
36 Nutrition Counseling Nutrition counseling, delivered by an RD (which is inclusive of goal-setting, self-monitoring, stimulus control, problemsolving, contingency management, cognitive restructuring, use of incentives and rewards and social supports), should be a part of the behavior therapy component of a multicomponent pediatric weight-management program. Consensus Imperative 36
37 Coordination of Care The dietitian should collaborate with members of the healthcare team (as available) in planning and implementing behavior, physical activity and adjunct therapy strategies. Effective multi-component pediatric weight management interventions benefit from the diverse expertise of different health-care professionals. Consensus Imperative 37
