BMI PercentilesValidity in children• Correlates with
adiposity1
• Correlates with adult adiposity2
• Correlates with cardiovascular risk factors3 and long-term mortality4
Overweight
Obese
1 Field AE, Obes Res, 20032 Freedman DS, Pediatrics, 20053 Freedman DS, J Pediatr, 20074 Must A, Int J Obes, 1999
Essential components: medical assessment for pediatric obese children
• Diet• Physical activity• Family history• Review of systems• Physical examinationGoals:
1. Identify targets for behavior change2. Assess risk for co-morbidities
Co-morbidities

Co-morbidities
Pseudotumor Cerebri• Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) with normal cerebrospinal
fluid and brain parenchyma• Incidence: <1:100,000 among children• Risk factors: females, 12-19 years, NH whites, medications• Symptoms: HA; +/- vomiting, visual changes, pulsatile
-dx of exclusion after other causes of ICP are eliminated
• Management: Acetazolamide, neurology and ophthalmology referrals; weight control
• Complication: visual impairment or blindness
Brara SM, J Pediatr, 2012
Pseudotumor Cerebri
Key points: • Always ask about occurrence of
headaches, especially in obese post-pubertal girls
• A fundoscopic exam should be a routine part of the examination of the obese child with a HA and ICP symptoms

Co-morbidities
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis
• Characterized by displacement of the proximal femoral epiphysis from the metaphysis
• Incidence: ~11:100,000 in all children
• Risk factors: early adolescence, boys, Hispanics & blacks
• Symptoms: limp, complaints of dull, aching groin, thigh, or knee pain (referred by obturator nerve); no preceding trauma
• Exam findings: motion of the hip in abduction and interior rotation is limited on exam
• Dx: AP view of pelvis and frog leg to include both hips (compare hips)
• Management: Orthopedics referral for surgical intervention; weight control
Lehmann, J Pediatr Orthop, 2006
Blounts disease• Pathologic deformity resulting from disruption of normal cartilage
growth at the medial aspect of the proximal tibial physis• Incidence: ~ 11:100,000 children• Risk factors: 2-4 year olds; adolescent, blacks, boys• Mild varus (10 degrees) in obese child can
referral to sleep medicine specialist (CPAP)• Complications: CVD: Pulmonary HTN RVH
Systemic HTN LVH

Obstructive sleep apnea
Key points: • Obtain a detailed sleep history on all obese
children: ask specifically about sleep disturbances, snoring, and sleep position
• OSA should be considered in obese children with poor school performance and concentration difficulties
Asthma
• Obesity associated with asthma; unclear temporal relationship
• Obesity as an independent predictor?• Children’s Health Study: 3792 children in California from 1993-1998 Obese children with new-onset asthma Overall Incidence Rate (IR): 31.4
Boys > Girls (IR: 36.6 vs IR: 25.6) Overall Relative Risk (RR) = 1.6 (1.1,2.4)
Boys > Girls (RR: 2.3 vs. 1.1)
Gilliland FD, Am J Epidemiol, 2003
Asthma
• Symptoms: wheeze, cough (notably with activity), chest pain, altered activity patterns, slowing down
• Exam findings: +/- RUQ tenderness; typically none• Dx: abdominal ultrasound• Management: Referral to surgery• Key Point: Gallbladder disease should be considered in
the differential dx of persistent abdominal pain in obese adolescents
- 20% obese children have impaired fasting glucose (IFG1); - 25% of obese children with impaired glucose intolerance (IGT)1; - obese children 12.6 higher odds of higher insulin levels vs. non-obese children2
• Risk factors: minorities, maternal GDM, family history• Symptoms: polyphagia, +/- nocturia, typically asymptomatic • Exam findings: acanthosis nigricans, +/- central adiposity • Dx: Fasting glucose ≥ 100-125 mg/dL
OGTT: Glucose ≥ 140 mg/dLHbA1c ≥ 5.7-6.4
• Management: weight control +/- metformin
1Sinha, N Engl J Med, 20022Juonala, N Engl J Med, 2011
Progression from Euglycemia to T2DM
Insulin resistance• Complications: progression to T2DM
- Insulin level > 30 (35% progress to diabetes)
- Glucose level > 100 (30% progress to diabetes)
- 45% of newly dx diabetic cases in children; correlated
with obesity, particularly rapid weight gain in early
childhood
- Associated with adult cardiovascular disease
• Key point: reversible with weight control – offers an
opportunity to discuss health risk of lifestyle behaviors
with familiesADA, Diabetes Care, 2000

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome• Prevalence: 7% among adolescents1
- hyperandrogenism (clinical or biochemical)- ovulatory dysfunction (irregular menses)- polycystic ovaries - dx of exclusion (rule out other causes of hyperandrogenism)
• Management: OCP + weight control +/- metformin; referral to endocrinology and/or adolescent medicine
Triglycerides: TG ≥ 100 (<10 years of age) TG ≥ 130 (≥ 10 years of age)
• Management2: Diet, activity; refer to endocrinology or cardiology for LDL > 250 and TG > 500

Dyslipidemia Algorithm - TG
• Decrease refined carb intake; replacewith whole grains, vegetables, fruit
• Avoid sugar-sweetened beverages• Avoid trans fats; limit saturated fats• Increase fish consumption

Risk Factors for Dyslipidemia Management
(+) Family Hx: myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death in 1st or 2nd-degree relative ≤55 years for males and ≤ 65 years for females
High Level RFsObesity (BMI ≥ 97th percentile)Hypertension requiring drug therapyPresence of high-risk conditionsCigarette smoker
Moderate RFsHypertension – no drug therapyHDL cholesterol ≤ 40 mg/dLPresence of moderate-risk conditionsObesity (BMI percentile ≥ 95th and ≤ 97th)
T1DM and T2DMChronic kidney diseaseKawasaki disease with aneuryms
Key points: • Obtain lipid panel as part of obesity
assessment
• Dietary management in conjunction with RD
• Reversible with weight control – offers an
opportunity to discuss health risk of lifestyle
behaviors with families
Hypertension• Prevalence: 20% of obese children have elevated blood
pressure • Symptoms: +/- HA, fatigue, blurred vision, dizziness; typically
asymptomatic• Exam: auscultation (ensure appropriate size of BP cuff)• Dx: Determined by blood pressure percentiles from pediatric BP
charts based on gender, age, and height percentile≥ 90th BP percentile (Pre-hypertension)≥ 95th BP percentile (Stage 1 HTN) ≥ 99th BP percentile + 5 mmHg (Stage 2 HTN)
- Confirm by manual auscultation- 3 separate BP measurements; average measurements

Hypertension• Management:
- Rule out secondary causes (renal) of HTN: CBC, BMP, and UA
- If elevated BP persists x 3 visits, refer to cardiology or nephrology to assist with pharmacotherapy
- Weight control, with emphasis on diet - Cardiovascular Health Integrated Lifestyle Diet (CHILD diet)
• Key points:- Pediatric hypertension is underdiagnosed- Remember to obtain blood pressure on all obese
patients, beginning at 3! Source: Expert panel on integrated guidelines for cardiovascular health and risk reduction in children and adolescents, Pediatrics, 2011

Left ventricular hypertrophy
• Thickening of the muscle of the left ventricle of the heart
• LVH prevalence: 30% of obese children with HTN vs. 18% in non-obese children with HTN
• Associated with obesity and HTN• Dx: ECHO• Complications: Independent risk factor for CVD

Health consequences of obesity
Childhood obesity is a predictor of increased rate of death, mainly due to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD)
Must et al., NEJM, 1992
Olshansky, et al, NEJM, 2005
Baker et al., NEJM, 2007
Franks et al, NEJM, 2010
Co-morbidities
Psychological morbidity
• Depression• Anxiety• Low self esteem• Teasing/bullying• Binge eating disorder• Impaired quality of life!• Screen by using validated questionnaires (BASC
or Peds QL) – don’t rely on self or parental report• Refer to psychological services
FindingElevated blood pressureAcanthosisIrregular menstrual cycle PapilledemaTonsillar hypertrophyAbdominal PainHepatomegalyLimited hip range of motionLower leg bowingFlat affect
Possible CauseHypertensionInsulin resistance, T2DMPCOSPseudotumor cerebriObstructive sleep apneaGERD, NAFLD, gallbladder dzNAFLD/NASHSCFEBlountsDepression
• All comorbidities require intensive lifestyle changes with focus on weight management; most are reversible; family engagement is key!
• Refer to community resources (dietitian, physical therapist, and psychology) for support
• Refer to specialty clinics for further evaluation and management
