  • Childhood Obesity Fact Sheet
    CHILDHOOD OBESITY FACT SHEET DEFINING CHILDHOOD OBESITY Body mass index (BMI) is a measure used to determine childhood overweight and obesity. Overweight is defined as a BMI at or above the 85th percentile and below the 95th percentile for children and teens of the same age and sex. Obesity is defined as a BMI at or above the 95th percentile for children and teens of the same age and sex. CHILDHOOD OBESITY RATES One in five children in the United States has obesity. The prevalence of obesity among U.S. youth ages 2-19 was 18.5% in 2015-2016. Preschool-aged children (2-5 years) – 13.9% School-aged children (6-11 years) – 18.4% Adolescents (12-19 years) – 20.6% There was no significant difference in the prevalence of obesity between boys and girls overall or by age group. The prevalence of obesity decreased with increasing level of education of the head of household. Lowest income group – 18.9% Middle income group – 19.9% Highest income group – 10.9% Obesity prevalence was lower in the highest income group among non-Hispanic Asian and Hispanic boys, and non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Asian, and Hispanic girls. Obesity prevalence did not differ by income among non-Hispanic Black girls. Written by Gurpreet Boparai, MD, FOMA © Obesity Medicine Association. All rights reserved.

  • Nutrition Recommendations for Obesity Management
    NUTRITION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OBESITY MANAGEMENT The medical treatment of obesity hinges on four pillars – nutrition, physical activity, behavior, and medication. Nutritional recommendations have to be tailored to the individual patient and his or her likes and dislikes, medical co-morbidities, and current medications. The best diet is the one that is sustainable for the patient long-term. These recommendations are generalized guidelines to assist in creating an individualized nutrition prescription for your patient. STEP 1 CREATE A CALORIE DEFICIT When you eat fewer calories than you burn, you create a calorie deficit (also called an energy deficit). When you create a calorie deficit, your body gets energy from stored fat. Your body can use energy from stored fat to keep moving instead of using energy from food. When your body burns fat for energy, you lose weight. 3 STRATEGIES TO ESTIMATE ENERGY DEFICIT: Estimate individual energy requirements according to expert guidelines, such as the Harris Benedict Equation, the Mifflin‐St Jeor Equation, or the World Health Organization formula. Prescribe a diet with an energy deficit of 500 kcal/day, 750 kcal/day, or 30 percent. Specify an energy intake target that is less than that required for energy balance, usually 1,200 to 1,500 kcal/day for women and 1,500 to 1,800 kcal/day for men. (Kcal will need to be adjusted for the individual’s body weight and physical activity levels.) Use an open approach, where a formal energy‐deficit target is not prescribed, but lower calorie intake is achieved by restriction or elimination of particular food groups or provision of prescribed foods.
