Dale CarterObesity Specialist Nurse (OSN) Rotherham Institute for Obesity

To discuss:

1) Why do we care about obesity?

2) Waist circumference and central/visceral fat

3) Weighing and measuring

4) The NHSR obesity strategy and RIO

5) Common myths and mistakes

6) Questions?

The cover of "The Economist", Dec. 13-19, 2003.

How things have changed:

The changing look of women

The changing look of men

It’s getting worse

Kids today!How we could end up

by 2050

Impact of obese population

Obesity – Public health concerns

2011 Health Survey for England (2009 data):22% of men and 24% of women are obese (BMI >30)

Increasing numbers are morbidly obese (BMI >40) and ‘super obese’ (BMI >50)

66% men and 57% women obese or overweight

Foresight report (Oct07): estimates on current trends >50% of the UK will be obese by 2050

Currently 2/3 adults and 1/3 children overweight or obese Without action 9/10 and 2/3 by 2050

By 2050 total direct and indirect costs of obesity may increase to £49.9bn

Obesity – it’s a social problem, isn’t it? Yes...but, we treat social problems all the time

eg, sporting injuries, smoking problems, common infections etc

Plus...we treat the consequences of obesity anyway, eg, dyslipidaemia, T2DM, hypertension

So why not treat the cause?

Cost effective – prescribing savings Even a few kilos makes a difference to individuals Any weight loss reduces morbidity and mortality Weight regain is inevitable (whatever intervention)

Obesity is a chronic relapsing condition

Explaining calories

The role of Exercise Isolated exercise is an inefficient way of burning calories and losing weight 1 mile (15 mins) burns up 100kcals Regular exercise has a huge effect on burning calories and losing weight

etc

Current licensed medications: Pancreatic lipase inhibitors

Orlistat - XenicalAlli – otc

Some medications cause weight gain – action often unknown

Common mistakesAll sugars are the same (4kcal/g) i.e., sucrose = fructose etc Coco pop straws 34g/100g = 2 finger kitkat Fruit juice approx 9g/100mls

All fats (satd/polyunsatd/monounsatd) are the same (9kcal/g) Jordan’s Country Crisp Cereal: 28.5g/100g = McDonalds McBacon Roll Thick pork sausages: 20.3g/100g

Alcohol (think of each drink as a chocolate bar!)

High fat foods vs Low fat foods

Premium vs Economy ranges vs Home cooked food:Premium - likely to have high fat and high sugar (high calories)

Economy - likely to have high salt

Home cooked - likely to have high fat (depends on how it is cooked) ?better

Results so far: Tender began April 2009 Launch of service Sep 2009 Official RIO launch Nov 2009

In July 2011 a RIO internal audit showed at that time: Referrals to date >2890 adults + 307 children 1111 adults + 94 children already completed the RIO programme

During the 2010/11 year: 96% adults lost weight and 71% met or did better than targets 72% children met target of weight maintenance/loss Cumulative weight loss = 5.3 tons! Average (adult) weight loss of 8.3kg (18.3lb) 50% reduction in anticipated numbers for bariatric surgery referral

Impact of referral patterns for bariatric surgery (tier 4): Referral patterns prior to April 2009:

approx 100 referred via GP and 50 operations

considered suitable and proceeded to surgery

Surgery rates after April 2009:Anticipated (in 2008): 56 (09/10), 67 (10/11), 78 (11/12)

Actual: less than 50 referred and performed each year

(just 33 in 2010/11)

Conclusions:Tier 3 primary care based MDT specialist service

triage:

reduces inappropriate referrals

reduces numbers of procedures performed

Long term development

Research & training centre √ Extended hours √ Role in pre- & post- operative surgery √ OSA screening √ Outreach clinics + target children Primary care bariatric surgery Advertising service Offer service to neighbouring PCTs
