2 Objectives THING 2 Obesity Treatment Modalities THING 4 Physical Activity in Weight Management THING 5 Behavioral Modification in Weight Management Why is it important to do? Correlates with body fat Risk estimate: Increase BMI is associated with adverse health conditions Accurate diagnosis & documentation Treatment selection Based on Body Mass Index (BMI) A weight-stature index, used both as a measure of obesity and malnutrition BMI = weight (kg) / Height2 (m2) BMI= weight (lb.) x 703/ height squared (in2) BMI chart Relationship Between BMI and Percent Body Fat in Men and Women Body Fat (%) 70 Women 60 Men Body Mass Index (kg/m 2 ) Adapted from: Gallagher et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 2000;72:694. 2

3 2013 AHA/ACC/TOS Guidelines for Obesity Recommendation: Measure height and weight and calculate BMI at annual visits or more frequently Body Mass Index Staging kg/m 2 Normal range kg/m 2 Overweight kg/m 2 Obesity Stage I kg/m 2 Obesity Stage II 40 kg/m 2 Extreme Stage III Does BMI give you the complete picture? BMI does not distinguish between lean and fat mass. It is especially less accurate in: Elderly Athletes Certain ethnic groups Waist Circumference: Indirect measure of central adiposity, correlated with visceral fat Excess abdominal fat is an independent predictor of risk factors and morbidity Measurement is recommended for individuals with BMI kg/m 2 to provide additional information on risk It is unnecessary to measure waist circumference in patients with BMI 35 kg/m 2 because the waist circumference will likely be elevated and will add no additional risk information. Cut points: Women: >88 cm (>35 in) Men: >102 cm (>40 in) Comparison of Anthropometric and Metabolic Variables and Disease Prevalence in Women With Normal vs High WC Values Within Different BMI Categories Arch Intern Med. 2002;162(18): doi: /archinte

4 Measuring Waist Circumference Locate upper hip bone and top of right iliac crest Place measuring tape around abdomen at level e of iliac crest, keeping it parallel to the floor Ensure tape is snug but not compressing the skin Waist Circumference is NOT Belt Size Real waist located here = 44 Belt from college located here = 36 Assessing Obesity: BMI, Waist Circumference, and Disease Risk BMI (kg/m 2 ) Disease Risk Relative to Normal Weight and Waist Circumference Men 40 in Men > 40 in Women 35 in Women > 35 in Underweight <18.5 Normal Overweight Increased Obesity Stage I High Obesity Stage II Very high Extreme obesity 40 Extremely high High Very high Very high Extremely high Disease risk for DM2, HTN and CVD.

Calculate daily caloric needs and subtract kcal: Basal Metabolic Rate equation Mifflin St Jeor: Men: 10 x Weight (kg) x height (cm) 5 x age (y) + 5 Women: 10 x Weight (kg) x height (cm) 5 x age (y) 161 Daily Multiply Basal Metabolic Rate by Activity Factor: Caloric Sedentary = (little or no exercise, desk job) Needs Lightly active = (light exercise/ sports 1 3 days/week) Moderately active = 1.55 (moderate exercise/ sports 6 7 days/week) Very active = (hard exercise every day, or exercising 2 x/day) Extra active = 1.9 (hard exercise 2 or more times per day, or training for marathon, or triathlon, etc.) 2.

8 START BY recommending a diet that your patient is most likely to adhere to for weight loss Keep in mind: A collaborative effort Consider: Previous success and failures with a diet plan Current life circumstances: opportunities & barriers Co-morbidities Educate the patient: Obesity is a disease Weight management is a journey: Trial & Error Importance of keeping a food journal Ask patient to be transparent about their food choices, hunger and challenges of adhering to the diet plan. A Judgment Free Zone Monitor weight loss progress at every visit. Keep an open mind to the possibility of changing the diet if there is poor response. Always CHECK THE FOOD JOURNAL before determining the need to change the diet plan.

Arch Intern Med Physical Activity & Weight Management Physical Activity to prevent weight gain: min/wk. (energy equivalent to kcal/wk.) Physical Activity for weight loss: <150 min/wk.: minimal weight loss >150 min/wk.: modest weight loss 2-3 kg > min/wk.: weight loss of kg Physical Activity to prevent weight regain: min/wk. More is better ACSM Position Stand. Med Sci Sports Exerc Feb;41(2):

A set of principles and techniques used to help patients ADOPT new habits. Helps patients REPLACE maladaptive behaviors with new eating and activity habits. Helps patients develop a set of SKILLS to regulate their weight The goal: to improve eating, activity, and thinking habits that contribute to a patient s excess weight. 10

11 Goal Setting Setting appropriate goals is critical for self regulation and behavior change. People engaged in behavior change efforts often set goals that are not helpful or that sabotage their efforts. What are the characteristics of effective goals? Specific Detailed Measurable Objective Achievable Clear Outcome Realistic Likely to be successful Time frame Proximal Goal Setting Identify the goal Cut back on juice Identify the process by which the goal will be achieved Place the measuring cup on the kitchen counter to remind you to measure your juice every morning Advocate for small rather than large changes Cut back on juice from 16 oz. to 8 oz. per day Thank You 11

12 Intensive Behavioral Therapy (IBT) for Obesity In Primary Care Setting Coverage: Screening for Obesity, Dietary assessment, and Intensive Behavioral Counseling Frequency: Maximum of 22 IBT Sessions One face to face visit every week for 1 st month One face to face visit every other week for month 2 6 One face to face visit every month for month 7 12, If patient looses at least 3kg (6.6 lbs.) Coding: HCPCS Code G0447 (Face to face behavioral counseling for Obesity, 15 minutes) HCPCS Code G0473 (Group counseling for obesity) ICN August 2012 Medicare Learning Network Self Monitoring i.e. recording one s Strongly behavior associated with weight loss success. Food record is a critical tool for identify eating pattern that t can be modified to reduce calorie intake. Self Monitoring: Dietary Intake Physical Activity Weight Mood Long term weight management is challenging regardless of the weight loss modality. Patient s desire to limit food and energy intake is counteracted by adaptive biological responses to weight loss: Fall in energy expenditure (metabolism) out of proportion to reduction in body mass. Changes in hormones leading to increase appetite. 12
