Journal ArticleDOI
The Relation of Overweight to Cardiovascular Risk Factors Among Children and Adolescents: The Bogalusa Heart Study
TL;DR: Because overweight is associated with various risk factors even among young children, it is possible that the successful prevention and treatment of obesity in childhood could reduce the adult incidence of cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Excess Adiposity Among Overweight Children and Adolescents: The Bogalusa Heart Study
TL;DR: The 99th P of BMI-for-age may be appropriate for identifying children who are at very high risk for biochemical abnormalities and severe adult obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship of Childhood Obesity to Coronary Heart Disease Risk Factors in Adulthood: The Bogalusa Heart Study
David S. Freedman,Laura Kettel Khan,William H. Dietz,Sathanur R. Srinivasan,Gerald S. Berenson +4 more
TL;DR: Because normal-weight children who become obese adults have adverse risk factor levels and probably will be at increased risk for adult morbidity, the results emphasize the need for both primary and secondary prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relation of childhood BMI to adult adiposity: the Bogalusa Heart Study.
David S. Freedman,Laura Kettel Khan,Mary K. Serdula,William H. Dietz,Sathanur R. Srinivasan,Gerald S. Berenson +5 more
