Rupa Patel,MD,FCFP
Prepregnancy BMI and increased gestational weight gain (GWG) are both highly associated with childhood obesity.
Fascinating new research is revealing that infant food and taste preferences are affected by maternal food choices.
Women will respond to guidance about healthy food choices and healthy activity levels if they understand the lifelong implications for themselves and their children.

- Building a Healthy Relationship with FoodFrom Birth Onwards Trust model
Traditional dietary approach
Division of responsibility between caregiver (food choices) and child (food intake)
Caregiver control of food choices and food intake
Scheduled, predictable eating times
Controlling environmental triggers
No portion control/restriction
Portion control
Family meals
Low-fat meals/restriction of foods

Healthy Beginnings Two Rivers Family Health Team Cara Kasdorf, RD June 4, 2014
Program Overview ∗ Two Rivers Family Health Team consists of 21 physicians and 25,000 rostered patients and is located in Cambridge, ON ∗ In 2011 – started a standardized 3 year old Well Child/Healthy Beginnings visit for all 3 year olds in the FHT ∗ Standardized intake visit with Nurse focuses on growth assessment, blood pressure assessment, Preschool NutriSTEP® screen ∗ Education is provided at that visit and family referred to appropriate provider if identified as high or moderate risk
Outcomes & Results ∗ 65% of all 3 year olds within the FHT have been seen for an intake visit since April 2011 ∗ Moderate and high risk children are followed up with physician, nurse or dietitian depending on issues identified ∗ 72% of children with initial moderate or high NutriSTEP® score showed an improvement in score, at 3 month follow up
Next Steps ∗ Expand program to other age groups ∗ July 2014 – 18 month Nutri-STEP® will be administered at each 18 month Well Baby Visit – nurses currently receiving training ∗ July 2014 – Children in clinic for acute visits or immunizations will have height, weight, BMI-for-age measured and appropriate follow up if required (referral to Dietitian, community program, follow up with physician or nurse etc) ∗ Plan to formally evaluate any change in obesity rates in the population that has gone through the program
Healthy Growth for Kids within a Large Urban FHT Tracy Hussey, MSc, RD
Healthy Futures Chart reviews: aged 2-18 (n=323) BMI done at 31% of visits Of those with a BMI calculated, 80% received an intervention 29 obese (15%), 31 overweight (16%) 48 goals documented: limit juice > 5 fruit/ veg > limit pop > eat breakfast >fast food > TV Exercise and RD referral mentioned once each
Learning Usually <5 mins to complete the intervention, max 10 Most useful: stadiometer, small changes, prescriptions, BMI Least useful: BMI, “another burden”, “lack of compensation”, “lack of long term impact” Family/child responses were generally positive Despite the time needed 9/10 would continue to use the tools
Non-completing Practices 1. NP did not want to weigh girls due to fear of eating disorders 2. Family death (“will use project tools later anyway”) 3. Inadequate pediatric population 4. “Swamped”, “Too much time required”, “Worthwhile idea”
Other Options Health Fairs • Call families in to “monitor and talk about healthy growth” • Multiple activities in the room to address complexity of the issues
Strategic Clinics • Use standard immunizations to gather data and discuss • Pull in high benefit patients eg 3-5, 5-10 yrs • Shared Medical Appointments eg. teens
Pediatric Office Practice • Traditionally, primary care monitored height and weight to screen for failure to thrive • More recently, shift towards monitoring BMI – Can use AAP/CDC definitions (overweight > 85th percentile, obesity > 95th percentile)
• On the horizon – Using WC along with BMI to determine metabolic risk – Waist to Height Ration (WtHR) not significantly better than WC
Multidisciplinary Community Obesity Clinic • Trialed at York Central Hospital (now Mackenzie Health) in the early 2000s • 2 pediatricians, kinesiologist, dietitian • Mixed funding – hospital provided clinic space and kinesiologist, pediatricians funded through OHIP, patients billed for dietician services • Very modest success; several children met goals for weight reduction and increased activity • Ultimately unsuccessful – Families balked at paying for services – Clinic hours were not robust enough; families unable to attend visits – Clinic did not survive hospital cuts
Pediatric Section - OMA • PSOMA through Ontario AAP chapter held a Summit on Children’s Nutrition and Wellness • Pediatricians Alliance of Ontario roundtable on Healthier Lifestyles • PAO has supported TarGet Kids! in applying for various grants aimed at obesity/lifestyle research
NutriSTEP® Nutrition Screening Tool for Every Preschooler
Screening questionnaires assessing nutritional risk in toddlers (18 mths-age 3) and preschoolers (3-5 yrs) 17-item, parent administered, valid and reliable Risk: low, moderate, high
Multiple nutrition risk attributes Physical growth and development/weight concerns food and fluid intake physical activity and screen time factors affecting food intake such as responsive feeding and food security
Randall Simpson JA, Keller HH, Rysdale LA, Beyers JE. Nutrition Screening Tool for Every Preschooler (NutriSTEP trade mark): validation and test retest reliability of a parent-administered questionnaire assessing nutrition risk of preschoolers. Eur J Clin Nutr. 2008;62(6):770-80.
Implementation and Uptake CIHR funded Think Tank with Canadian experts recommended many screening venues Community settings: school registration; wellness fairs Primary care: physicians’ offices, FHTs Three separately funded process evaluations occurred in multiple public health settings, Family Health Teams, Community Health Centres (20072011) Feasibility of screening and perceptions by parents and staff were assessed Overall: well received by parents and staff (RN, RD, NP) Less than 10% high risk; did not overwhelm follow-up services Parents reported changing knowledge and behaviour after screen completion Physician visit model needs buy-in Training re pediatric nutrition for follow-up may be needed by PHC provider “I would like to see NutriSTEP® used on an ongoing basis without the study and consent.”
So… how about your practice setting? Ontario needs provincial data on young children’s nutritional health What would you need to ensure uptake of NutriSTEP® in your setting? Capacity? IT support for EMR? Financial incentives?
Specific pediatric training?...
What would it take to have a collaborative delivery of such a screening program that could also be used for provincial population health assessment and surveillance purposes? Love to hear from you: contact Jo Beyers at beyersj@sdhu.com For more info on NutriSTEP® www.nutristep.ca
Gaps To be Filled • What Counts Gets Counted – Canadian Health Measures Survey excludes children under 3 years
• Most preventive care recommendations in child health are graded ‘Insufficient Evidence’
TARGet Kids! Practice Based Research Network www.targetkids.ca
Obesity Prevention in Primary Care • Partnership SickKids and TPH • Expand to primary care settings • Identify Children at wellchild visit • Modified ‘Incredible Years’ Parenting Program • Home Visits to Implement goals
The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care (CTFPHC) has been established by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) to develop clinical practice guidelines that support primary care providers in delivering preventive health care.
CHILD OBESITY WORKING GROUP Key Question: Do primary care-relevant prevention interventions (behaviorally-based) in normal weight children lead to improved health outcomes or sustained/short-term healthy BMI trajectories? Systematic Review (McMaster Evidence Review and Synthesis Centre): 90 studies prevention interventions showed a statistically significant, but very small effect, in terms of lowered BMI/BMIz intervention vs control: BMI/BMIz SMD 0.07 (95% CI -0.10, -0.03) groups in favour of intervention: age: > 6 years intervention type: diet + exercise setting: educational
Three trials focused on interventions initiated in the first year of life
Wen et al - eight home visits by community nurses beginning antenatally through to 24 months after birth, with outcomes reported at 24 months Daniels et al - multiple group sessions co-led by a dietitian and psychologist beginning at 4-6 months, with outcomes reported at 13-15 months Campbell et al - multiple group sessions led by a dietitian beginning at 4 months, with outcomes reported at 20 months Study or Subgroup

Two studies showed a statistically significant reduction in BMI/BMIz in the intervention groups and one study did not A meta-analysis of the three studies, with a total sample size of 857, showed a statistically significant (p=0.03) lowered BMI/BMIz in the intervention group as compared to the control group but the magnitude of the effect was very small This early period of growth and development may provide an opportunity for targeted obesity prevention interventions in primary care and public health settings
