NUTRITION IN CHILDREN: WHAT IS HEALTHY EATING? Carissa Stanton, MD Clinical Assistant Professor University of Kansas Pediatrics Disclosure • I have no relevant financial relationships with the manufacturers(s) of any commercial products(s) and/or provider of commercial services discussed in this CME activity • I do not intend to discuss an unapproved/investigative use of a commercial product/device in my presentation. Objectives 1. Learn what is healthy eating based on the current clinical evidence 2. Apply nutrition knowledge to patient care during anticipatory guidance on healthy lifestyle 3. Improve patient’s lifestyle through healthy lifestyle changes Overview • Problem • Barriers • What is Healthy eating? • Portion size • Nutrient dense • Meal choices • Macronutrients • Micronutrients • Industrialized food • Physical activity • Fruits/vegetables • Sugar • Applying to practice The Problem • Childhood obesity is one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century • Childhood obesity has tripled in the last 3 decades • In 2012, approximately 31.8% of children 2-19 were overweight or obese in US • Today’s children may have a shorter lifespan than their parents Ogden CL, Carroll MD, Kit BK, Flegal KM. Prevalence of childhood and adult obesity in the United States, 2011-2012. Journal of the American Medical Association 2014;311(8):806-814 Obesity: Definition • Obesity • Condition characterized by the excessive accumulation and storage of fat in the body • Body mass index (BMI) • Kilogram/meter2 • Body weight adjusted for height • Screening tool that correlates with body fat and health risks • Children: Age and gender specific Kuczmarski RJ, et al. 2000 CDC growth charts for the United States: Methods and development. Vital Health Stat 2002;246:1-190 Obesity: Definition • Normal weight BMI 5-84% • Following own genetic curve • Overweight BMI 85-94% • Most will have excess body fat • Some of high lean body mass • Obesity BMI >95% • Almost all have excess body fat • Severe obesity >99% • Proposed new category Barlow SE, et al. Expert committee recommendations regarding the prevention,assessment, and treatment of child and adolescent overweight and obesity: Summary report. Pediatrics 2007;120:S164-192 The Problem • Childhood obesity complications • Cardiovascular risk factors • Hypertension • High cholesterol • Diabetes • Bone and joint problems • Sleep apnea • Social and psychological Daniels SR, Arnett DK, Eckel RH, et al. Overweight in children and adolescents: pathophysiology, consequences, prevention, and treatment. Circulation 2005;111;1999–2002. The Problem • Overweight and obese children often become obese adults1 • Diabetes • Heart disease and stroke2 • Osteoarthritis • Cancer3 1.

American Cancer Society guidelines on nutrition and physical activity for cancer prevention. CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians 2006;56:254–281. The Problem • By 2030, 50% of adult Americans will be obese • 8.5 million more people with diabetes • 7.3 million more cases of heart disease and stroke • 670,000 additional cancers • Economic burden in 2030 • Medical expenditures will increase by $66 billion annually Wang Y, et al "Health and economic burden of the projected obesity trends in the USA and the UK" Lancet 2011; 378:815-25. The Problem • Not only excess calories relative to activity • American diet has become inadequate in crucial nutrients • Vitamin D, Calcium, Magnesium, fiber • 30-40% of daily energy of children and adolescents is consumed as energy-dense but nutrient poor food and drinks The Problem • Chronic disease in children is increasing • Obesity: 1/3 of children overweight or obese • Asthma: Doubled since 19801 • ADHD: 7.8% in 2003 to 11.0% in 20112 1.

Trends in the parent report of healthcare provider diagnosed Attention deficit Hyperactivity disorder: United states, 2003-2011. J Am Ac Child Adolescent Psych. 2014; 53:34-46 The Problem • Genetic vs. environment • Too rapid for genetic shift • Environment • Possible common etiologies • Increased high calorie/low nutrient processed foods • Less physical activity • Increased income inequality • Adverse childhood events Perrin JM, Bloom SR, Gortmaker SL. The increase of childhood chronic conditions in the United States. JAMA 2007;297(24):2755-9 The Solution Pediatrics 2007;120:S164-192 The Barriers Nutrition Education The white paper: Teaching nutrition and physical activity in medical school, training doctors for prevention-orientated care http://bipartisanpolicy.org/library/teachingnutrition-and-physical-activity-medicalschool-training-doctors-prevention/ Accessed 2/26/15 The Barriers • Nutrition and environmental research • Randomized control studies difficult • Many variables • Measurement validity • Common sense medicine • Proven not to do harm, proven likely to do benefit • The media and consumerism Todd K, et al. Food intake measurement: problems and approaches. Am J Clin Nutr 2011:37 The Barriers • Societal values • Consumerism • Time and money • Socioeconomic Pediatric Nutrition: What is healthy eating? What is healthy?: US Government • Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee 2015 Low Healthy diet Standard American diet (SAD) Refined grains, sugar, red meat Vegetables, fruit, whole grains, dairy Moderate Dairy High Vegetables, fruit, whole Refined grains, sugar, red grains, legumes, nuts meat Scientific report of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee 2015http://www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015-scientific. Accessed 2/27/15-report/ What is healthy? American Academy of Pediatrics • Building a “healthy plate” • Focus on increasing vegetable, fruit, and whole grains • Appropriate portion size • Consuming nutrient dense foods • Reduce intakes of added sugar, sodium, refined grain products, and trans fat • Balancing calories with activity . R Kleinman and F Greer, Pediatric nutrition 7th Ed. 2013 AAP: Target behaviors 1. Limit portion size 2. Limit consumption of high calorie, low nutrient foods 3. Meal choices Balanced macronutrients Limit eating out Eat meals as family Adequate calcium 4. Physical activity 5. Increase fruits and vegetables 6. Limit sugar Davis MM, et al. Recommendations for the prevention of childhood obesity. Pediatrics 2007;120:S229-253 1. Portion size Portion size: Problem • Portions have doubled or tripled in last 3 decades • Burden of own industrial food supply success • Improved to make more food cheaper • Consumerism • Companies make more money when consume more • Make portions bigger • Make food more addicting with sugar/fat/salt so consume more Portion size: Evidence • Portion size is contributing factor to increasing prevalence of overweight • Portion size has been associated positively with BMI1 • Largest determinant of food consumed was amount served2 1. Huang TT, et al. Energy intake and meal portions: associations with BMI percentile in US children.Obes Res. 2004;12:1875-1885 2. Mrdjenovic G, Levitsky DA. Children eat what they are served: the imprecise regulationOf energy intake. Appetite 2005;44:272-282 Portion size: Solution • Approximately 1 fist size • Changes with age and size of kid • i.e toddler portion smaller than adolescent • Helpful guide when parents say toddler “doesn’t eat anything” • Smaller for concentrated things like butter, cheese • Bigger for green leafy vegetables that have low calorie • Processed foods read labels for serving size • Packaged cereal often has portion size of 2/3 cup, when children eat 1-1.5 cup (around 2 servings) http://pcdateam.org/nutrition/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Hands-On-Nutrition-For-Kids.jpg 2. More nutrient to calorie More nutrients to calorie: Problem • Highly processed foods • Lower in nutrients • Over desirable taste Overconsumption • Added • Trans fats • Sodium • Sugar • Infant and toddler foods More nutrients to calorie: Problem Why put sugar and salt in baby food? To get palate used to processed food (kids literally addicted to processed food, and then regular whole food doesn’t taste as good) Added sugar and sodium in early life Taste preferences Food choices Food intake later in life Cornwal TB, McAlister AR. Alternative thinking about starting points of obesity. Development of child taste preferences. Appetite 2011;56:428-439 More nutrient to calorie: Evidence • Eating out of the home • Evidence shows eating out of home as risk factor for obesity1 • Associated with greater intake of fried food and sugar sweetened drinks2 • Higher intake of saturated/trans fat and sugar • Less intake of nutrients 1. American dietetic association: Childhood overweight evidence analysis Project. 2006. Available at: www.adaevidencelibrary.com. Accessed June 2007 2. Gillis LJ, Bar-Or O.. Food away from home, sugar-sweetened drink consumption and juvenile obesity. J Am Coll Nutr. 2003 Dec;22(6):539-45 More nutrients to calorie: Evidence • Family meals • Frequency of family dinners associated inversely with overweight and obesity in 9-14 year olds1 • Parental presence • Positively associated with adolescent consumption of fruit, vegetables, and dairy foods2 • Negatively associated with skipping breakfast 1.
