Baby obesity: Rapid infant weight gain linked to childhood obesity
Chicago Tribune
Health professionals have been struggling to understand why the nation’s children are ballooning in weight as childhood obesity has been linked to a host of chronic diseases later in life. ther studies have looked at the link between obesity and birth weight but the Pediatrics study was the first to look at rates of weight gain in relation to body length during infancy as a factor. The study involved 559 mother-child pairs living in the Boston area; 72 percent were non-white and about 33 percent had a household income of less than $70000. Researchers used measures of body weight and length together—referred to as weight-for-length—because the combination gave a better picture of a child’s body fat composition than weight alone like the body mass index for adults. The link between rapid infant weight gain and obesity by age 3 was striking even after adjusting for factors such as being born premature or underweight.
