Summary


Obesity prevalence is increasing among youth



Both Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes have increased in
prevalence during this same period making weight less useful as a
key determinant of who has Type 2 diabetes



Obesity severity is associated with progressively abnormal measures
of glucose intolerance suggesting that continued increases in
obesity are likely to lead to increasing Type 2 diabetes.

resistance (acanthosis nigricans, hypertension, dyslipidemia,
PCOS)


*Pediatrics 105,#3:671-680, 2000. and Haemer MA, et al. Childhood Obesity 2014; 10, #4:292-303.

Testing for Type 2 DM in Children(2)


Age of initiation: 10yrs, or
at onset of puberty

(if puberty occurs at a younger age)


Frequency: Every 2 years when normal or more often if new
risks emerge



Test:

Fasting Plasma Glucose

Pediatrics 105,#3:671-680, 2000. and Haemer MA, et al. Childhood Obesity 2014; 10, #4:292-303.

Criteria for Diagnosis of DM


1. Symptoms of diabetes plus casual plasma glucose
concentration >=200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l).


Casual is defined as any time of day without regard to time since last meal.



The classic symptoms of diabetes include polyuria, polydipsia, and
unexplained weight loss



2. FPG >=126 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l)*.



3. 2-h PG >=200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l)* during an OGTT.





Fasting is defined as no caloric intake for at least 8 h.

The test should be performed as described by WHO, using a glucose load containing the
equivalent of 75 g anhydrous glucose dissolved in water.

 4. HgbA1c ≥ 6.5%


Performed in a lab that is NGSP certified and uses an assay
standardized to DCCT

*Abnormal blood glucose values should be confirmed by repeat testing on a different day

Summary


In a general asymptomatic obese population of children, different
results are obtained as indicators of diabetes by HgbA1c and oGTT



The best correlation between values occurs in patients with
confirmed diabetes not those at risk for diabetes

How persistent is Glucose
intolerance?(1)


Weiss R, et al. Diabetes Care 2005; 28,#4:902-909


117 obese children, 4 to 18yrs of age, BMI>95%ile, mixed ethnicity had
oGTT done at baseline and 18 to 24 m later



84 wth NGT, 33 with IGT





76(90.5%) with NGT maintained NGT



8 (9.5%) with NGT progressed to IGT



15 (45.5%) with IGT reverted to NGT



10 (30.3%) with IGT persisted with IGT



8(24.2%) with IGT progressed to T2DM

7 of the 8 who progressed to T2DM were African American females with
much higher BMI than the group

Summary


Results of oGTT are subject to change in children and adolescents



Only about 30% of those with IGT persist with IGT and an even
smaller fraction progress to Type 2 DM



Those who progress to Type 2 DM are likely to be of heavier weight
and African American Heritage.

Association of IFG and IGT with

Prediabetes therapy





Limited pediatric data available to determine optimum therapy
Garnett S, et al. BMC Pediatrics 2014; 14, #1:289


110 obese children, age 10 to 17, treated with metformin but randomized to
high carb diet vs high protein, moderate carb diet showed improvements
with 6.8% decrease in BMI, 2.4% decrease in percent body fat and an
increase in insulin sensitivity



There were no dietary differences in response to combined intervention

Haemer M, et al. Childhood Obesity 2014;10,#4:292-303.


Systematic review of clinical practice (25 pediatric obesity clinics), plus
literature review to come to consensus statement



“The Committee takes no position on the use of pharmacological agents to
prevent T2DM in children with prediabetes or elevated fasting insulin, given
the limited studies in children and evidence that many children ith
prediabetes may revert to normoglycemia without pharmacological
treatment (Evidence C).”

Conclusion


Increased obesity associated with increase prevalence of T2DM and
prediabetes in youth



Pre diabetes is associated with adverse cardiometabolic risk profile in
children and adolescents



Results of oGTT, either fasting or 2-Hr, have poor correlation with each
other and with HgbA1c in an asymptomatic obese population of
children,



Prediabetic results in children frequently remit to normal results




All 3 tests may be used to diagnose T2DM, but results of any one episode of
testing must be cautiously interpreted given the variability in results over
time.

More severe obesity, African American heritage and female status is
most associated with progression from pre-diabetic to diabetic state.

Disclosures:
None

Key Points
• Obese children more likely to become obese adults
• Coronary risk factors increased in obese children (DM,
HTN, dyslipidemia, NAFLD, OSA)
• Childhood obesity associated with increased markers
of atherosclerosis and CV death in adulthood
• Return to normal weight in adulthood may attenuate
risk from childhood obesity
• Lifestyle modification programs disappointing
• Limited data on pharmacological therapy
• Bariatric surgery effective option for severe obesity
(long term data lacking)

We all face consequences of the obesity epidemic

NEJM 2005; 352:1138-45

“Assuming that current rates of death
associated with obesity remain
constant in this century, the overall
negative effect of obesity on life
expectancy in the US is a reduction of
1/3 to 3/4 of a year. This is not trivial –
it is larger than the negative effect of
all accidental deaths combined…and
there is reason to believe it could
exceed the negative effect that
ischemic heart disease or cancer has
on life expectancy.”

“The negative effects of increasing
BMI overwhelmed the positive
effects of declines in smoking in
multiple scenarios.”

Orthopedic Implications of
Childhood Obesity
VuMedi webinar 12/5/16

Dave Shenton MD

• I have nothing to disclose

General thoughts regarding
childhood obesity and
orthopedic problems
• Disclaimer – I am not a Pediatric Orthopedic surgeon. I specialize in
Sports medicine (esp. shoulders, knees)
– However, I have seen the dramatic change in childhood obesity in my
practice over the past 30 years, became alarmed, participated in
education of parents

• Children inherently have special orthopedic risks with obesity
versus adults because they are growing and developing
– Orthopedic Conditions - Growth plate injuries (SCFE, Blounts, etc)
• Other musculoskeletal problems – Perthes, etc

– General musculoskeletal complaints and injuries
• Increased risk of injury and compromised recovery
• Back, lower extremity, ankle and foot problems

1

11/30/2016

The problem with childhood obesity:
• As a society we
Americans are
overfed and
undernourished
• Inactivity is
epidemic
– Nearly 40% of kids
physically unfit

Society has taken notice

The Causes:
• “The biggest factor for obesity in the young is
still parental overweight”!
B. Healy MD, USN&WR Sept 4, 2006

Children who are overweight or obese as preschoolers are five times
as likely as normal-weight children to be overweight or obese as
adults.

¶

*Sample size <50 or the relative standard error (dividing the standard error by the prevalence) ≥ 30%.

The Problem:
• Health issues:
– Obesity care costs for kids more than
tripled between 1979 and 1999 in US
($127 million) Nat’l Acad of Sciences
– Kids increasingly with “adult” diseases
• Type 2 diabetes
– 1 in 3 expected to develop

Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis
• Orthopedic condition in adolescence where the femoral head slips
posterior and inferior relative to the femoral neck
–
–
–
–

This can happen either acutely or more slowly and chronically.
Usually presents with hip and/or knee pain and limping.
Often occurs during periods of rapid growth or shortly after adolescence
This is a surgical problem classically requiring screws or pins to stabilize the slip
and effect healing
•
•

Multiple complications possible including avascular process of the femoral head, chondrolysis,
persistent pain and stiffness
The surgery is more difficult with increased risk of complications reported in obese children

– Risk factors include obesity – resulting in increased shear forces

Multiple studies show association between
overweight/obesity and slipped capital femoral
epiphysis (SCFE) – e.g.:
• Aversano MW, et al. Association between body mass index-for-age
(CDC ref) and SCFE: the long term risk for subsequent slips in
patients followed until physeal closure. J Child Orthop 2016.
– Association between obesity measured by BMI-for-age percentiles and SCFE
– All but one patient (79/80) greater than 85 th percentile

• Nasreddine AY, et al. a reduction in body mass index lowers risk for
bilateral SCFE. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2013
• Loder RT. The demographics of slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Clin
Orthop. 1996; 322:8–27.

reviewed the cases of 1630 children with 1993 SCFE.
worldwide - 47.5% white, 24.8% black, 16.9% Amerindian, 7.4% Indonesian-Malay, 2.1%
Native American/Pacific Islands, and 1.3% Indo-Mediterranean children
671 were girls (41.2%) and 959 were boys (58.8%) avg age 12 and 13.5 years, respectively
The age at diagnosis decreased with increasing obesity
weight status (at the time of the first slip) was known for 1337 children - 51.5% were obese
(body weight >95th percentile), 11.7% were overweight (body weight in 90th to 95th
percentile

Blount’s Disease
• Orthopedic condition with severe bowing (varus deformity) of the
legs
– Thought to result from increased and uneven stress on the growth plate caused
by excess weight leading to irregular growth and deformity.
•

Probably preceded by physiologic varus in the child combined with overweight

– Infantile and adolescent types (both uncommon, reported at less than 1%)
– Usual presenting complaint is the progressive deformity, rather than pain
– Treatment can consist of leg braces or orthotics in younger patients and with less
severe deformities.
– Surgery is required in older patients and those with more severe deformities.
•
•

Complications can include malunion, gross deformity, infection, delayed healing, recurrence
Surgery is more difficult in obese patients and a higher risk of complicationsis reported.

Radiographic features
include varus at
epiphyseal/metaphyseal
junction
• Widened irregular medial
physis
• Medial sloping of
epiphysis
• Beaking of medial
metaphysis

Blount’s disease - Relationship to obesity
• Obesity has been linked with the prevalence and degree of
angulation of the deformity in infantile Blount disease
• Dietz WH, Gross WL, Kirkpatrick JA. Blount disease (tibia vara):
another skeletal disorder associated with childhood obesity. J
Pediatr. 1982;101:735–737
– Retrospective study of 18 cases of children with Blount disease. Of these, 16 had
infantile Blount disease, and all the patients described as obese (>120% of ideal
body weight) had infantile Blount
•

the relationship of the onset of obesity and the onset of the Blount disease could not be determined

• More than 90% of the reported cases of adolescent Blount’s disease
have been in black males who are morbidly obese
• Henderson RC, Kemp GJ, Hayes PRL. Prevalence of late-onset
tibia vara. J Pediatr Orthop. 1993;13:255–258.
– Studied all boys area high-school football teams who weighed >210 lb
•

(210 lb - 95th percentile for 18-year-old males - National Center for Health Statistics)

– Of the 1117 boys, 140 boys (80 black and 60 white) met the weight criteria
– Radiographs of the seven boys who clinically screened positive showed that two
boys had adolescent Blount disease. resulting prevalence was 2.5% (two of 80
boys) in the adolescent black male population described as obese

Perthes disease – relationship to childhood obesity
• Loss of blood supply to femoral head leading to necrosis
– typically occurs in children who are between 4 and 10
years old. Boys 5:1 girls. 10% to 15% bilateral.
– 4 stages: necrosis, fragmentation, re-ossification,
healed -can take years
– All require prolonged bracing or traction and some
require surgery.
– Increased risk of hip osteoarthritis later in life
• Prevalence of Obesity in Patients With Legg-CalvéPerthes Disease.
– Neal DC, et al. J Am Acad Orthop Surg. 2016.
– Retrospective, 150 patients
– 16% overweight and 32% obese
– Obese with 2.8 times likelihood of requiring bony
operation
– Obesity common in Perthes patients and associated
with a later stage of disease presentation

Various musculoskeletal complaints
• Orthopedic specialists commonly see overweight
children complaining of hip, back, knee and foot pain.
• Overweight and obesity are associated with
musculoskeletal complaints as early as childhood: a
systematic review.
– Review article Paulis WD, et al. Obes Rev. 2014.
– 40 articles included
– Concluded that “overweight and obesity are associated with
musculoskeletal pain, injuries and fractures as early as
childhood”
• More high quality prospective core studies are needed.

• Krul, M et al, Ann Fam Med Jul-Aug 2009). Musculoskeletal
problems in overweight and obese children.
– Overweight/obese children with more musculoskeletal, lower extremity and ankle
and foot problems versus normal weight

Fractures/Sprains and Related Complications
• Obese/overweight children may have a higher risk for
fractures
– Increased forces with falls
– Awkwardness, decreased coordination?
– Possibly relatively weaker bones secondary to inactivity

• Treatment of fractures can be complicated/compromised
– traditional metal implants more likely to fail –
• Guidelines for use of elastic nails for femur fractures versus IM rods etc.
• Weiss et al 2008- Increased risk complications flexible nails with increasing
BMI - wound infections, nonunion , skin ulcers, nerve palsy, re-fracture

– crutches may be difficult to use –
• mobilization of lower extremity fractures complicated (Hayashi, 2009)

– Cast/splint immobilization may be more difficult and inadequate
• E.g. hip spica cast not effective for fatter kids
• Trouble controlling fx alignment with extremity casts -soft tissue envelope

in obese children following an acute ankle injury. Arch Ped Adolesc

Multiple studies showing increased frequency or severity of
fractures with childhood obesity
• Seeley MA, et al. Obesity and its effects on pediatrics
supracondylar humeral fractures. JBJS 96A (3), Feb 2014
– 354 patients
– Obesity was associated with more complex fractures, preoperative and
postoperative nerve palsies, and postoperative complications
– Obese patients were more likely to sustain complex fractures from a simple fall
on outstretched hand.

• Goulding A, Jones IE, Taylor RW, et al. More broken bones: 4-yr
double cohort study of young girls with and without distal forearm
fractures. J Bone Miner Res. 2000;15:2011–2018
– girls, aged 3 to 15 years
– 100 who had each recently traumatically fractured a forearm was compared with
a group of 100 who were fracture free.
– previous fractures, low total body area bone mineral density (g/cm 2), and high
body weight each independently increased the risk of new fractures in growing
children.
– Also, spinal volumetric bone mineral apparent density (g/cm 3) was a predictor of
new fractures.
– Fracture group- 8 to 19 year olds 4.7 kg (~10 lb) heavier

Impairments in mobility and balance
associated with obesity?
• McGraw B, McClenaghan BA, Williams HG, et al. Gait and
postural stability in obese and nonobese prepubertal
boys. Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2000;81:484–489.
– Boys aged 8 to 10 years who were obese spent a greater
percentage of the gait cycle in dual stance and had diminished
dynamic stability.

• A study of 93 boys aged 10 to 21 years supported that
adolescents who are overweight have poorer balance
than those of healthy weight
– Increased risk of falling
– Difficulty halting forward progress when they began the fall
– Increased force applied to bones with fall.

• Taylor MS III found that overweight children report a
significant impairment in mobility compared to non
overweight children.
• Developmental coordination disorder (DCD)?

Back and Spine problems with childhood obesity
• Samartzis D, et al. A population-based study of juvenile distant
generation and its association with overweight and obesity, low back
pain…. JBJS 2011
– Obesity increases the risk of degenerative disc disease by 14 times.

• A review of 65 epidemiologic studies of low back pain did report that
32% of the 65 reviewed studies showed a statistically positive link
between weight and low back pain
• Milbrandt, TA – Increased complication rates following scoliosis
surgery in adolescent girls
– Overweight and obese patients had 70% complication rate.
– Most common complication was persistent wound drainage.
– heavier girls had significantly longer surgical times and hospital stay.

• Difficult bracing for scoliosis etc.

Other –foot pain, etc with childhood obesity
• Foot pain in the obese child is not uncommon.
– Contributing to fatigue and exercise tolerance

• Overweight -increased foot length/width, decreased navicular height,
lower medial arch height, and higher plantar pressure
• a rigid idiopathic flat foot that is negative for any type of coalition or
other cause has been described in obese children.
– Could be sequelae of obesity and increased pressure on the foot with midfoot
collapse and tight Achilles tendon

The Cure:
• Parents must embrace their
responsibility to raise a healthy child
– Set a good example
– Be supportive
– Create a healthy environment
• Healthy food, exercise, family time/outings
• Limit TV, video games, computer
– NO TV in child’s bedroom !

• Adequate rest (8-9 hrs min)

– ACTIVE ; hike, swim, bike, camp, wash car,
chores, sports,etc

The Cure:
• Schools
– PE – daily, emphasize personal fitness/cardio
– “School-age youth should participate daily in 60 minutes or
more of moderate to vigorous physical activity that is
developmentally appropriate, enjoyable, and involves a
variety of activities. (J Pediatr 2005; 146:732-7)
– Youth strength training

Ambulatory Blood
Pressure Monitoring
 Patient wears lightweight BP monitor that
takes BP at regular intervals for 24 hr
 Readings are recorded by monitor and later
downloaded to a personal computer
 Study is analyzed by comparing the
patient’s BP to a set threshold value
 Equipment available for use in children
 Validity confirmed in children

Metabolic Syndrome
(dysmetabolic syndrome)
Diagnosis (ICD-9 code 277.7) requires 3 or more of the following:
Obesity (BMI >95th %)
Elevated BP (systolic and/or diastolic >90th %)
Abnormal blood lipids (HDL-C < 40 mg/dl, and/or Triglycerides >
150mg/dl)
