Overweight and At Risk of Overweight: Quick Reference
Overweight and At Risk of Overweight Whom To Draw:
Weight ___________ BMI ___________ BP ___________ Height ___________ Height percentile __________ BMI percentile ___________ BP percentile ___________ If child > 2 y.o. and if parent has a Tchol >240mg/dL OR CV event before 55 y.o. Unknown FHx but cardiac risk factors are present BMI 85th percentile PCOS
Dyslipidemia
Risk Factors for T2DM:
Race/ethnicity (non-Caucasian) FHx T2DM in 1st or 2nd degree relative Mother with GDM One of the following: HTN (≥ 95th %), acanthosis nigricans, dyslipidemia, PCOS
Intervention
If non-diabetic and ≥10 y.o.: LDL <110 mg/dL is ideal LDL 110-129 is borderline elevated LDL 130-159 mg/dL: Maximize non-pharmacological management LDL 160-189 mg/dL: Consider medication if more risk factors present LDL >190 mg/dL: Begin medication Isolated fasting triglycerides >400 mg/dL: Begin medication
Labs:
If BMI is 85th-94th percentile Without Risk Factors Fasting lipid profile If BMI is 85th-94th percentile With 2 Risk Factors Fasting lipid profile ALT and AST Fasting Glucose If BMI is ≥95th percentile and ≥ 10 y.o. Fasting lipid profile ALT and AST Fasting glucose Other tests as indicated by health risks NOTE: A 2-hr glucose challenge (OGTT) is more sensitive than a fasting glucose for diagnosing pre-diabetes.
Intervention: Readiness to Change Assessment Motivational Interviewing Dialogue Key Messages Medical work-up and intervention as appropriate
When your patient leaves the room feeling smart and empowered , You know you have Facilitated Change!
Motivational Interviewing Dialogue Step 1:Brief Structuring Statement
“Can we take a few minutes to discuss your weight and health? “How do you feel about your weight and health?” “If you had a magic wand and you could change anything you wanted about your body what would you change?”
Step 3: Affirm
“ I appreciate how hard it must be for you to talk about this topic” “ If I were in your position, I would also find this situation difficult”
Step 2 : Reflective Listening & Listening for Change Talk
“It sounds like you…” “You’re feeling…” “It seems that you…” “So you…”
Step 4: Action Planning
Offer a brief summary Share information about BMI% & Key Messages Provide brief, focused advice
