Why should we care?

Obesity is considered 30 pounds overweight.
Today’s children weigh 10 pounds more than
the children did 10 years ago.

2010 baseline for potential cases, costs and savings
* National Heart Forum provided the total cases and cases avoided per 100,000 people, and TFAH
used the state’s 2011 census data to translate to the full population-based estimates.
^Top obesity-related cancers include endometrial (uterine), esophageal, kidney, colon and postmenopausal breast cancer.
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.

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?

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.
