  1. Obesity Trends across the U.S.A

  2. How the trends were established? The CDC began in 1985 monitoring obesity trends across the United States. This was done through the CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The BRFSS consist of state health departments using standard procedures to collect data through a series of monthly telephone interviews with United States adults.

  3. Defining Overweight Overweight refers to increased body weight in relation to height, when compared to some standard of acceptable or desirable weight. Remember: Just because your overweight may or may not be from excess body fat.

  4. Overweight Example: Professional Athletes may be overweight but due to lean muscle mass. BMI’s of 25-29.9 are considered overweight.

  5. Defining Obesity Obesity defined as an excessively high amount of body fat or adipose tissue in relation to lean body mass. Remember: The amount of body fat includes concern for both the distribution of fat throughout the body and the size of the adipose tissue deposits.

  6. BMI’s of 30 or more are considered obese.

  7. In 1985 there were few states reporting obesity information. In 1991, four states were reporting obesity prevalence rates of 15-19% with NO states reporting rates at or above 20%.

  8. In 2002, 20 states have obesity prevalence rates of 15-19%, 29 states have rates of 20-24%; and three states report a rate over 25%. (ALABAMA is always a Leader!)

  9. No Data <10% 10%–14% BRFSS, 1985 (*BMI ≥30, or ~ 30 lbs overweight for 5’ 4” woman)

  16. No Data <10% 10%–14% 15%–19% BRFSS, 1992 (*BMI ≥30, or ~ 30 lbs overweight for 5’ 4” woman)

  17. No Data <10% 10%–14% 15%–19% BRFSS, 1993 (*BMI ≥30, or ~ 30 lbs overweight for 5’ 4” woman)

  18. No Data <10% 10%–14% 15%–19% BRFSS, 1994 (*BMI ≥30, or ~ 30 lbs overweight for 5’ 4” woman)

  19. No Data <10% 10%–14% 15%–19% BRFSS, 1995 (*BMI ≥30, or ~ 30 lbs overweight for 5’ 4” woman)

  20. No Data <10% 10%–14% 15%–19% BRFSS, 1996 (*BMI ≥30, or ~ 30 lbs overweight for 5’ 4” woman)

  21. No Data <10% 10%–14% 15%–19% ≥20 BRFSS, 1997 (*BMI ≥30, or ~ 30 lbs overweight for 5’ 4” woman)

  22. No Data <10% 10%–14% 15%–19% ≥20 BRFSS, 1998 (*BMI ≥30, or ~ 30 lbs overweight for 5’ 4” woman)

  23. No Data <10% 10%–14% 15%–19% ≥20 BRFSS, 1999 (*BMI ≥30, or ~ 30 lbs overweight for 5’ 4” woman)

  24. BRFSS BMI > 30, or ~ 30 lbs. overweight for 5'4" woman

  25. What is BMI? BMI is a common measure expressing the relationship (or ratio) of weight to height. It is a mathematical formula in which a person’s body weight in kilograms is divided by the square of his/her height in meters.

  26. What is BMI? The BMI (body mass index) is more highly correlated with body fat than any other indicator of height and weight.

  27. How is BMI calculated? BMI = Weight in kilograms Height in meters2 (squared)

  28. Here is an example: Female who is 5’6” tall and current body weight of 183#

  29. To convert height into meters: Height in inches times 2.54 = centimeters Take centimeters divide by 100, this gives you height in meters. Then take that number and square it

  30. To convert pounds to kilograms: Weight in Pounds divided by 2.2 = Weight in kilograms Note: There are 2.2 kg in every pound!

  31. Let’s try our example…... Female who is 5’6” tall and current body weight of 183#

  32. To convert height into meters: 65 inches times 2.54 = 165 cm Take 165 centimeters divide 100 = 1.65 meters Square meters: 1.65 times 1.65 = 2.72

  33. To convert pounds to kilograms: 183 pounds divided by 2.2 = 83 kilograms

  34. Outcome: This Female who is 5’6” and weighs 183 pounds has a BMI of: 83 kilograms = 30.5 2.72 meters

  35. Remember: What does that mean? Overweight is 25 – 29.9 Obese is 30 or more

  36. Why worry about weight and BMI numbers? Research studies have shown that being overweight or obese increases the risk of developing a number of health conditions that are consider health risk.

  37. Health conditions that are health risk They include Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, Coronary Artery Disease, Ischemic Stroke, Colon Cancer, Post Menopausal Breast Cancer, Endometrial Cancer, Gall-bladder Disease, Osteoarthritis, and Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

  38. With these previous mentioned health risk there is a significant economic impact in the United States. Whether it be from missed days at work or premature death, there is a financial strain secondary to being overweight or obese.

  39. What is Ideal Body Weight?

  40. MALES All males are allowed 106 pounds for their first 5 feet in height. Then add an additional 6 pounds for every inch after that. Add 10% of your ideal body weight if your are a large frame individual!

  41. Male Example: A man that is 6’ 2 inches tall should weigh... 5 foot = 106 pounds 14 inches x 6 pounds = 84 pounds Ideal Body Weight is196 pounds

  42. FEMALES All females are allowed 100 pounds for their first 5 feet in height. Then add an additional 5 pounds for every inch after that. Add 10% of your ideal body weight if your are a large frame individual!

  43. Female Example: A female that is 5’ 6 inches tall should weigh.. 5 foot = 100 pounds 6 inches x 5 pounds = 30 pounds Ideal Body Weight is 130 pounds

  44. What are simple ways to reduce your BMI?

  45. 1. Know your Calories This should be your goal each day…. Calories consumed = Calories burned These should be equal if you are trying to maintain your weight

  46. Determine how many calories need to maintain, lose or gain weight. First convert your ideal body weight in pounds to weight in Kilograms. Weight in Pounds divided by 2.2 = Wt in kg Note: There are 2.2 kg in every pound!

  47. Once you have your calories in kilograms, multiply kg by an activity factor. Example of Activity Factors: 20 cals = Not active 25 cals = Mildly active 30 cals = Moderately active (1-3) 35 cals = Highly active (3-5)

  48. Example: You have a guy that weighs 194 pounds. 194 divided by 2.2 = 88 kg 88 kg x 30 calories = 2,640 This is based on a man who exercises moderately. He is allowed 2,640 calories a day.

  49. 2. Portion Control Know Serves and Eat them! • Grains • 1 slice of bread • 1 cup of cereal • 1/2 cup of cooked rice, cereal or pasta • 1/2 hamburger, hotdog bun • 1/2 doughnut • Vegetables • 1/2 cup cooked vegetables • 1 cup raw

  50. 2. Portion Control • Fruits • 1/2 cup of canned fruit • 1/2 cup of 100% juice • 1 piece of fruit (apple, orange, banana, pear), 17 grapes
