Obesity! Concern for increasing rates of pediatric obesity: nationwide and locally Lack of family awareness regarding patient’s growth status Lack of awareness of resources for families with obese kids Lack of community resources for pediatric weight management

What is Overweight? Example: 10 yo boy Height: 4 ft 11 in Weight: 113 lbs ● ●

Body Mass Index (BMI) Weight in kg OR Weight in lbs x 703 (Height in m) 2 (Height in inch) 2

Example: 10 yo boy Height: 4 ft 11 in Weight: 113 lbs BMI = 23

Increasing Prevalence of Overweight Children Source: CDC/NCHS and NHANES

Summary of Health Indicators Number Included in Analysis Prevalence % Nation * (0-5 yo)BMI ≥ 95th percentile7,192, Nation (2-5 yo)BMI 85th to 95th percentile2,945, BMI ≥ 95th percentile2,945, Idaho: 2-5 yoBMI 85th to 95th percentile16, Idaho: 2-5 yoBMI ≥ 95th percentile16, * Based on 2000 CDC growth chart percentiles for weight-for-length for children under 2 years of age and BMI-for-age for children 2 years of age and older Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance National Summary of Health Indicators Children Aged less than 5 years

More Idaho Stats 26% of the 160,000 Idaho kids ages yo are considered overweight or obese. # Hispanic children have almost double the rate of overweight/obesity than non-Hispanic children (49% vs 24%). Kids with public insurance have almost double the incidence compared to those with private insurance (40% vs 22%). 29% of low-income children ages 2-5 years participating in WIC are overweight/obese.* # 2003 National Survey of Children’s Health * 2006 Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System (PedNSS)

My question is… Is there a need for a comprehensive pediatric weight management program here in the Treasure Valley?
