Obesity. Why should we care? What is Obesity? Obesity is considered 30 pounds overweight. Today’s children weigh 10 pounds more than the children did 10 years ago.

The Problem: • We’re too sedentary • We don’t eat well And that’s risky and expensive. Chronic Diseases related to obesity is a leading cause of death Obesity related diseases costs the U.S. $270 billion a year Financial Work Related Cost of Obesity Indirect Costs: Value of Lost Work Insurance Premiums and Compensations Lower Wages Obesity-related absenteeism costs employers as much as $6.4 billion a year The annual cost of obesity-related loss of productivity is as much as $30 billion each year. (Forbes 2013) Starts at Childhood Today, one in three American kids and teens are overweight or obese, nearly triple the rate in 1963. Childhood obesity is now the No. 1 health concern among parents in the United States, topping drug abuse and smoking Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 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 Dietary Behaviors Increased consumption of sugar sweetened beverages Continued low consumption of fruits and vegetables Factors of Obesity Hectic/busy schedules turn to fast food Children watching more TV/video games Less active Likely to consume more soda and junk food Parents and children forgot how to “play” Poor neighborhoods and lack of physical activity May not have easy access to nutritional food May not be as safe for walking and playing Source: Stanford Prevention Research Center Physical Activity 76.4% of adults in Pinellas County did not meet the weekly recommendation for leisure-time aerobic or muscle strengthening physical activity in the 30 days. 74% of white adults in Pinellas County had not met the weekly recommendation compared to 93% of blacks. 22.4% of adults were sedentary overall, but it jumps to 35% for adults who made less than $25,000 Even though a recent grant that ended, Communities Putting Prevention to Work, helped to increase opportunities for physical activity, the data still shows significant disparities. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention BRFSS 2012) Community Design & the Built Environment Standardized Share of Mode for Trips to School: National Personal Transportation Survey 60 Car % of Trips 50 40 Bus 30 20 Walk/bike 10 Public Transit 0 1969 1977 1983 1990 1995 2001 Year McDonald NC. Am J Prev Med 2007;32:509 Children Walking to School – 50% Now – 14% 1969 Challenges 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 WHY? Does the current environment inadvertently encourage this? How can we incentivize healthier behaviors? Precontemplation “Never” Contemplation “Maybe” Preparation “Soon” Action Maintenance “Now” “Always” Take Ownership. The obesity epidemic IS everyone’s problem. It will take EVERYONE to solve it. What we DON’T need to do Tell people how to find fruits and veggies near their home (They know how) Tell people parks are nearby (They know) Tell them to get healthy (They think they are fairly healthy) Tell them exercise and physical activity are good for their health (We all know this already) Thinking In New Ways The choice to sustain good health must be supported by the environment we live in. Leaders must make decisions that impact the environment in healthy ways. Leaders must make decisions in ways they have not thought of previously in community planning. Employee Wellness Policies Healthy Vending Policies Fitness Zones Added bike racks Farmers Markets/Produce Stands The Focus: Change systems, infrastructure and policies so they encourage – not discourage – healthy eating and physical activity. Broad leadership team that includes elected officials, non-profit organization and the private sector. Partner with local governments, transportation authorities, schools, Early Childhood programs/organizations, after school programs, local businesses, community and faith-based groups in partnerships.
