Current Obesity Management in Primary Care
  • Eileen L. Seeholzer, M.D., M.S.
  • Asst. Professor
  • Case Western University School of Medicine
  • Department of Medicine
  • MetroHealth Medical Center

2
Obesity Defined  
  •  Traditionally defined as a weight 20 greater
    than ideal body weight
  •   Severe obesity or morbid obesity is defined
    traditionally defined as a weight 100 greater
    than ideal body weight

3
Fat Distribution
  • Upper-body obesity or abdominal obesity or
    androgenic obesity An independent risk factor
    for diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease,
    hypertension, arthritis, menstrual irregularities
    and gallbladder disease
  • (Diabetes mellitus is thirty times higher in
    highest waist-to-hip ratio (whr)compared to
    lowest quartile whr)

Scope of the problem in the U.S.
  • The prevalence of obesity in the United States is
    between 30 and 35 (Women 34)
  • Overweight and obesity prevalence is 64.5
  • Obesity rates are highest in lowest socioeconomic
    levels and in minorities and women. Rates of
    obesity often 50

Flegal et al. JAMA October 9, 2002 Vol 288,
no. 14
7
Scope of the problem in the U.S.
  • The prevalence of obesity has risen steeply in
    the last 20 years and continues to rise,
    especially in children, adolescents, and young
    adults
  •  More than 78 million Americans are estimated to
    be obese and more the 8 million Americans are
    estimated to be severely obese

Increased Risk for Adult Obesity
  • Gender/Ethnicity Women, blacks, Hispanics and
    Native Americans
  • Family History
  • Childhood Obesity
  • In lower socioeconomic status
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Increased time-spent watching TV

10
Local Public Health Data
  • The Behavior Risk Factor Survey
  • a survey of 40,000 people conducted annually
    by the Centers for Disease Control. Subjects are
    asked about their weight and activity levels. Of
    forty thousand subjects 2,700 of the subjects
    live in Ohio 350 live in Cuyahoga County

11
Local Public Health Data
  • Obesity rates in Ohio rose from 25 in 1988 to
    35 in 1995
  • ? Figures for Cuyahoga County are similar.
  • ? 1995 obesity rate for African Americans of 48
    in Cuyahoga County
  • ? Obesity is linked strongly to sedentary
    lifestyle. Forty percent of Ohio subjects
    reported a sedentary lifestyle

12
Associated Medical Problems
  • Cardiovascular HTN, cardiomyopathy, sudden
    death, CHF
  • Endocrine DM, dyslipidemia, hypothyroidism
  • Pulmonary OSA, disordered sleep, asthma
  • GI GERD, cholelithiasis, NAFLD/NASH
  • Oncologic Breast, colon, cervical, prostate
  • Neurologic CVA, idiopathic intracranial
    hypertension, meralgia paresthetica

13
Associated Medical Problems
  • Renal Proteinuria/glomerulosclerosis, CRF
  • Dermatologic intertrigo, venous stasis,
    cellulitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acanthosis
    nigricans
  • Psychiatric depression, binge eating disorder,
    night eating syndrome
  • GU stress incontinence, PCOS, infertility,
    pregnancy risk
  • Rheumatologic DJD- knee, hip, low back pain
  • General fatigue, pain, disability, lower socio-
    economic status, poorer quality of life

14
Obesity associated Increased Risks in Pregnancy
  • Gestational Diabetes
  • Hypertension
  • Disordered breathing/Obstructive Sleep Apnea
  • Cesarean section rate (RR1.5-1.8)
  • Congenital heart defects (OR 1.4-2.0)
  • Spina Bifida (OR 3.5)
  • Omphalocele (OR 3.3)
  • Increased levels of leptin, crp and tnf-alpha

15
Birth Weight and Obesity
  • LBW and ((4000gm)OR 1.53 increased gestational DM risk
  • LBW associated with increased overweight
    adolescence
  • Prolonged breast feeding associated with lower
    rates of adult obesity

16
Metabolic Syndrome
  • Three or more of the following present
  • Abdominal obesity(102cm M/88cm F)
  • Elevated triglycerides (150mg/dl)
  • Low HDL (women)
  • Hypertension
  • High fasting blood sugar

17
Metabolic Syndrome

22
Nature/Nurture
  • Genetics are estimated to explain about 30-40 of
    BMI variance
  • Certain groups highly susceptible(Pima Indians,
    Samoans)
  • Environmental factors are estimated to explain
    about 60- 70 of BMI variance

23
Neuroendocrine Environment
  • Leptin/Leptin receptor resistance (at VMH)
  • TNF-a, IL-6, adiponectin (aconitase theory
    decreased cellular ATP,increased FFA and glucose,
    Wlodek, et. Al. 2003)
  • CRP
  • Dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine
  • Low growth hormone levels observed
  • Higher cortisol levels sometimes seen

24
Ghrelin and Peptide YY
  • Ghrelin is orexigenic (hunger signal) secreted
    by stomach and duodenum serum level rise before
    and fall after meals
  • Ghrelin levels increase with dieting, but
    decrease with gastric bypass
  • PYY (satiety signal) secreted post-prandially by
    distal small bowel and colon decreases appetite
    and food consumption
  • PYY decreases ghrelin levels
  • Ghrelin acts on growth hormone secretagogue
    receptors to increase growth hormone

25
National Weight Loss Registry
  • Cohort 784 in initial cohort(629 female)
  • Eligible subjects had maintained 13.6kg loss for
    over a year (avg. loss 28kg)
  • FINDINGS
  • Food strategy
  • High levels of physical exercise
  • Weight maintenance method
  • Later study found maintenance less difficult with
    time

Obesity Treatment Pyramid
28
Non-Pharmacologic Treatments
  • Weight loss goals 5-15 considered achievable
    and will improve health
  • Components of Basic Program
  • Diet Recommendations
  • Exercise Recommendations
  • Behavior Therapy
  • Regular f/u in maintenance phase

31
Assessing Weight Loss Readiness
  • Motivation
  • Stress level
  • Psychiatric issues
  • Time availability

Patient seeks weight reduction Free of major life
crises Free of severe depression, substance
abuse, bulimia nervosa Patient can devote 15-30
min/d to weight control for next 26 weeks
YES
NO
Patient Ready?
Prevent weight gain and explore barriers to
weight reduction
Initiate weight loss therapy
32
Results from Non-pharmacologic Programs
  • Patient overwhelmingly regain the weight.
  • Behavior therapy and exercise key to weight loss
    maintenance
  • This therapy only addresses external environment
    and not biologic environment

33
  • Is it reasonable for an obese individual to exert
    continuous control over both biologic factors and
    environmental factors to successfully maintain
    weight loss?

34
Pharmacologic Treatments
  • Older meds increased noradrenergic output (i.e.
    phenteramine, diethylproprion) or increased
    serotonin release(dexfenfluramine Redux)
    withdrawn from market
  • Sibutramine (Meridia) inhibits norepinephrine
    and serotonin reuptake. It induces 4-12
    decreases in weight. A longer term study showed
    5 reduction

35
Pharmacologic Treatments
  • Orlistat (Xenical) decreases fat absorption. It
    induces 5-13 decreases in weight and may have
    the benefit of a food avoidance behavioral
    mechanism. Losses of 3-5 observed long-term
  • Ephedrine/caffeine over the counter supplements
    may induce 5-10 losses - not reliable
    ingredients and risk of arrhythmia/cardiac events

36
  • Pharmacotherapy helps maintain weight loss best
    in combination with behavioral, diet and exercise
    interventions

37
Other Agents
  • Topiramate (Topamax)- anticonvulsant. Mechanism
    for weight loss unknown. Doses of 64-384mg given.
    Weight loss at higher doses about 4 higher than
    placebo group(n385) (24 week)
  • Bupropion (Wellbutrin) norepinephrine reuptake
    inhibitor and antidepressant. Weight loss found
    to be 5 higher in treatment group 400mg (24
    week) (n327)

38
Experimental Agents - Phase 3
  • SR141716 (Rimonabant) - blocks a cannabinoid
    receptor in then central nervous system that
    stimulates hunger when activated
  • Recombinant human variant ciliary neurotrophic
    factor or CNTF (Axokine) - Binds to the CNTF
    receptor and activates signaling pathways in
    neurons of an appetite-control center in the
    hypothalamus
  • Vastag, JAMA 4/9/2003

39
Medications That May Promote Weight Gain
  • Antipsychotics risperidone, clonazepine,
    olanzepin
  • Antidepressants Tri-cyclics, SSRI
  • Antiepileptics valproic acid, gabapentin,
    carbemazepine
  • Lithium
  • DM treatments Sulfonylureas, insulin
  • Progestin steroids
  • Cortisone
  • Antihistamines
  • Beta blockers

40
Surgical Treatment
  • In U.S, 40,000 done in 2001, estimated 80,000
    done in 2002
  • NIH criteria - BMI40 or BMI35 with 2 medically
    important comorbid conditions
  • Age not a contraindication
  • Presurgical evaluation extensive
  • Goal is to lose 50 of excess weight and improve
    comorbid conditions

41
Surgical Outcomes
  • Weight nadir 12-24 months
  • BMI reduction 12 months after surgery of 16.4,
    at 24 months 13.3
  • Vertical banded gastroplasty only 38 meet
    weight loss goal
  • RGB - 5yr post-op excess weight loss 50-60 and
    75-89 successful at losing 50 excess weight
    (57 in super-obese)

42
Predictors of Better Surgical Outcomes
  • Age
  • Employment
  • Marital status
  • Social support
  • Female gender
  • Diet compliance
  • Appt compliance
  • Preoperative weight loss
  • Tobacco cessation
  • Knowledge of eating rules

43
Predictors of poorer Surgical outcomes
  • Psychiatric admission history
  • MMPI psychopathology
  • Public assistance
  • Negative life events
  • Snacking
  • Codependency
  • Childhood abuse
  • Denial of disease
  • Black ethnicity
  • Prior bariatric procedure

44
Improvement in Comorbid Conditions s/p Gastric
Bypass
  • Cures 85 of Diabetes Mellitus
  • Cures 50-66 Hypertension
  • Cures 85 hyperlipidemia
  • Cures 89 gerd(lap-band)
  • LVH regression seen after a year
  • Improved fertility
  • Pregnancy safer fewer complications compared to
    obese counterparts watch vitamins
  • Depression decreases
  • Increase in work and decreased disability/assistan
    ce

45
Common longer-term Complications after Gastric
Bypass
  • Dumping syndrome
  • Nutritional deficiencies iron 20-50, B-12
    26-70, folate 9-35
  • Higher rates of nutritional deficiencies in
    biliopancreatic diversion
  • Rarely can have neuropathy or protein deficiency

46
Screening For Obesity in Adults
  • The USPSTF recommends that clinicians screen
    all adult patients for obesity and offer
    intensive counseling and behavioral interventions
    to promote sustained weight loss for adults
  • December, 2003

47
Office Assessment
  • Assess BMI and if possible waist circumference
  • Assess for co-morbid conditions and other risk
    factors (smoking, family history)
  • Assess patients willingness to lose weight
  • If ready take diet and activity history and set
    goals.

Based on the Assessment, Classification and
Treatment (ACT) tool. Clinical Guidelines on the
Identification, Evaluation and Treatment of
overweight and Obesity in Adults NIH NHLBI 1998
48
Office Assessment
  • Follow progress frequently with goal
    re-assessment for at least 6 months consider
    dietary or other referrals
  • If BMI 30 consider medications
  • If BMI 40, or 35 with risk factors, consider
    surgical assessment

Weight Management Clinic
  • Currently two ½ days weekly likely to expand
  • This clinic is for obese patients (BMI30) who
    are READY to commit to lifestyle changes to
    maintain weight loss.

50
Weight Management Clinic
