World Pandemic
The United States can be regarded as the epicenter ofthis global pandemic.
Overweight and obesity affects 65%-80% ofAmerican adults, and a rising proportion of children.
Obesity is a major, modifiable risk factor for type 2diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

According to the CDCs Behavioral Risk Factor SurveillanceSystem (BRFSS):
In 1995, obesity prevalence in each of the 50 states was less than20%.
In 2000, 28 states had obesity prevalence rates less than 20%.
In 2005, 4 states had obesity prevalence rates less than 20%.
In 2007, 1 state (Colorado) had obesity prevalence rate less than20%.

Health Effects of Obesity
Medicare reclassified obesity as a chronic disease in July, 2004. Evidence shows that obesity and Type 2 diabetes are inflammatory
states.
Co-morbidities concurrent with obesity lead to increased morbidityand mortality.
Prevalence of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and low HDLescalates with increasing BMI.
A 10% weight loss can improve some co-morbidities including type2 diabetes and hypertension. Surgical removal of adipose tissuedoes not improve metabolic parameters.

Obesity and Mortality
Obesity is associated with increased overall mortality.
Mortality was found to be lowest at BMI of 22.5-25.
Each 5 kg/m(2) higher BMI was on averageassociated with about 30% higher overall mortality.

Energy Balance
Although genetics and the environment are
contributing factors in deterring body fat mass
accumulation, energy balance is of paramount
importance in weight regulation. If intake is too high obesity will develop.
Maintaining an appropriate energy balance of food
intake and physical activity is a crucial preventivemeasure.

Physical Activity and aHealthful Diet
A healthful diet and physical activity are crucial components of weightloss/control.
Recent research shows 76% of US adults had inadequate fruit &vegetable intake and 65% did not exercise.
Eating well and being active have been linked to the prevention of co-morbidities related to obesity and weight gain, such as diabetes and themetabolic syndrome.
Interventions during the phase of insulin resistance, particularlysupervised weight loss, mitigate cardiovascular risk and preventdiabetes.
Behavioral changes for long-term adherence are key components.

Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome
53% of participants were determined to have metabolic
syndrome at baseline.
Lifestyle intervention and Metformin reduced
development of the syndrome in the remainingparticipants (lifestyle intervention 38%; Metformin

Set Point Theory and Weight

Set Point Theory and WeightLoss
The set point theory emphasizes that the body has ahomeostatic feedback system for controlling its fat stores.
Homeostatic mechanisms are an adaptation of the bodysmetabolic rate to maintain fat stores and body weight.
A reduction in the consumption of calories without addingphysical activity will result in a decline in the RestingMetabolic Rate (RMB), thus inhibiting weight loss.
Combining physical activity and caloric restriction is thebest way to achieve sustainable weight loss.

Physical Activity A large body of scientific evidence has shown that physical activity
has a protective effect against numerous chronic diseases and mortality. Sufficient physical activity = at least moderately active for 30 minutes
or more on most days of the week.
This amount of exercise can decrease risk of metabolic syndrome.
Resistance training 2 days/week is recommended to promote lean bodymass and muscle strength.
Health care providers can play an important role in encouraging
physical activity. www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/sgr/pdf/sgrfull.pdf;

Physical activity or smoking cessation has been found to lower the mortality rate by 50% and increase survival rates by 10 years.
In comparison, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) or catheterization prolongs life for a half a year.

Hypertension Studies:
A meta-analysis by Whelton (2002) has shown that
aerobic exercise is associated with a significant reductionin mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure (-3.84mmHg and -2.58 mm Hg respectively).
The reduction was seen in both normotensive andhypertensive patients alike. An increase in aerobic
physical activity should be considered an importantcomponent of lifestyle modification for prevention andtreatment of high blood pressure.
According to the JNC7, aerobic physical activity isrecommended for pre-hypertension and hypertension
stages I and II. In overweight hypertensive patients, a combined exerciseand weight-loss intervention has been shown to decreaseSBP and DBP by 12.5 and 7.9 mm Hg, respectively.

Physical Activity and Cancer
Current research supports the beneficial role of physical activity
and exercise in reducing the risk for developing breast cancer
and preventing or attenuating disease and treatment-related
impairments.
An inverse association exists between physical activity and
colon cancer in both men and women.
Overweight or obesity increases risk of endometrial, breast,
prostate, and colorectal cancers.

Patient-Provider Encounter
Americans average 2.7 office visits per person per year, withmost (60%) occurring in a primary care setting.
Patients regard physicians as a resource for preventive healthinformation and recommendations.
Many patients would like their doctor to focus more onprevention.
Patients counseled by primary care physicians to make lifestylechanges and who target a specific change are more likely tomake an attempt and to be successful.

Summary of Module 1
There is strong evidence associating sedentary lifestyle
and weight gain to increased morbidity and mortality.
Weight loss and control have enormous potential healthbenefits.
Lifestyle counseling in primary care can effectively
encourage healthful dietary and physical activity patterns.
The next module provides the information needed to
provide an exercise prescription and offer constructive
nutritional guidance.
