Study Notes
Adolescent Nutrition: Conditions and Interventions
OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY
- Prevalence of overweight and obesity among adolescents has nearly doubled in the last 20 years
- Environmental factors, or interactions between genetic and environmental factors, are the most likely causes of the dramatic rise in overweight and obesity
- Risk factors include having at least one overweight or obese parent, low socioeconomic status, being of African American, Hispanic, or American Indian/Native Alaskan race/ethnicity, and being diagnosed with a chronic or disabling condition that limits mobility
- Inadequate levels of physical activity and consuming diets high in total calories and added sugars and fats are behavioral risk factors common among a significant proportion of adolescents
DEFINITIONS AND CLASSIFICATION
- Weight status among adolescents should be assessed by calculating body mass index (BMI)
- BMI values are compared to age- and gender-appropriate percentiles to determine the appropriateness of the individual's weight for height
HEALTH IMPLICATIONS OF ADOLESCENT OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY
- Chronic health issues that are comorbid conditions of adolescent obesity include:
- Hypertension
- Dyslipidemia
- Insulin resistance
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus
- Sleep apnea and other hypoventilation disorders
- Orthopedic problems
- Hepatic diseases
- Body image disturbances
- Lowered self-esteem
ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT OF ADOLESCENT OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY
- Screening: every year (weight-for-height)
- Risk factors present >> in-depth assessment
- Treatment: staged care process based on BMI, co-morbid conditions, age, and progress with previous stages of treatment
- Stage 1: Prevention Plus: adolescents with BMI of ≥85th but <95th percentile, increased dietary intake of foods rich in iron and vitamin C, and iron supplementation
SPECIAL DIETARY CONCERNS AMONG ADOLESCENTS
- Hypertension (HTN): elevated BP, risk factors include family history of HTN, high dietary intake of Na, overweight or obesity, hyperlipidemia, inactive lifestyle, and tobacco use
- Hyperlipidemia: 1 in 4 adolescents has elevated cholesterol, CHILD 1 (Cardiovascular Health Integrated Lifestyle Diet) diet
- Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome: type 2 diabetes prevention includes reaching and maintaining a healthy body weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and following the DASH diet
- Children and Adolescents with Chronic Health Conditions: increased risk for nutrition-related health problems due to physical, biochemical, and psychological factors
