2 STATUS OF OUR NATION AND COUNTY
3 Obesity Statistics Between , obesity prevalence among U.S. adults doubled, and recent data indicate an estimated 34% of adults are obese (BMI 30). More than one in six U.S. children is obese, three times the rate in the 1970 s (BMI at or above the 95% percentile of the sex specific BMI for age growth charts). According to self reported data, Blacks had 51% higher prevalence of obesity, and Hispanics had 21% higher obesity prevalence compared with whites. - Adapted from

18 CAUSES OF OBESITY
19 Genetic and Pre/PostnatalFactors Combination and interaction of many factors Pre/Postnatal factors Caloric deprivation during critical periods in utero Maternal insulin-dependent diabetes Maternal obesity Higher birth weight Infant feeding practices Genetic background Predisposition to obesity (Ebbeling, et al., 2002; Kramer, et al., 1985, Rolland-Cachera, et al., 1995; Safer, et al., 2001; Whitaker & Dietz, 1998)
20 Behavioral and Environmental Contributing Factors Increasing portion sizes Increased saturated fat consumption Increased simple carbohydrate consumption Increased sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and energy-dense, nutrient poor food choices Decreased physical activity Increased sedentary behavior (AAP, 1997; Anderson, et al., 1998; Ebbeling, et al., 2002; Epstein & Goldfield, 1999; McGloin, et al., 2002)
21 Dietary Behaviors Increased consumption of sugar sweetened beverages Continued low consumption of fruits and vegetables - Adapted from
22 Dietary Behaviors Increased frequency of meals eaten away from home - Adapted from
23 The Food Environment Increased number of fast food establishments in the U.S. Lack of access to full service grocery stores selling affordable healthful foods Less healthy food & beverage advertising aimed at children - Adapted from
24 Physical Activity 35.5% of adults do not engage in recommended levels of physical activity for health benefits (21) and 25.4% of adults report no leisure-time activity (23) In 2009, 81.6% of high school students did not participate in 60 or more minutes of physical activity on any day of the previous 7 days (22). Only 30.3% of high school students, grades 9-12, have daily P.E. (23). - Adapted from
25 Community Design & the Built Environment Standardized Share of Mode for Trips to School: National Personal Transportation Survey Car % of Trips Year McDonald NC. Am J Prev Med 2007;32:509 Bus Walk/bike Public Transit - Adapted from
26 Community Design & the Built Environment Environmental factors beyond the control of individuals contribute to increased obesity rates by reducing the likelihood of healthy eating and active living behaviors. Environmental factors that influence physical activity behavior (26, 27): Lack of infrastructure supporting active modes of transportation, i.e. sidewalks & bike facilities Access to safe places to play and be active Access to public transit Mixed use & Transit Oriented Developments - Adapted from
27 CONSEQUENCES OF OBESITY
28 Obesity Increases the Risk for High blood pressure High cholesterol Heart disease Stroke Diabetes Cancer (colon, breast, ovarian, ut erine, esophageal, kidney, blood, gallbladder, panc reas) Arthritis Heartburn Disability Sleep disorders Alzheimer s Depression Infertility Erectile Dysfunction Urinary Incontinence Birth Defects
29 Top Ten Causes of Death in the United States 1.

Deaths: Final Data for CDC.
30 Economic Consequences 9.1 percent of total U.S. medical expenditures (1998) US: $78.5 billion CA: $7.7 billion Direct medical costs Preventive, diagnostic, treatment services Indirect costs Morbidity Income lost from decreased productivity, restricted activity, absenteeism, bed days Mortality Future income lost by premature death (BRFSS ; Finkelstein, et al., 2003; Wolf and Colditz, 1998; Wolf, 1998)
31 PREVENTING OBESITY
32 Why Should Local Governments Care? The Cost of Obesity is High: In 2008, the annual healthcare cost of obesity in the US was estimated to be as high as 147 billion dollars a year, double the amount a decade ago. Annual medical expenses for the obese are estimated to be 42 percent higher than for a person of a healthy weight. - Adapted from
