Binay Kumar Raut,Mukesh Kumar Jha,Dijan Baidya,Hari Sundar Shrestha,Subhash Sapkota,M Aryal,Prabodh Risal,Shyam Sundar Malla +7 more
TL;DR: BMI proved to be a reliable indicator of adverse health conditions like obesity in Nepalese children and could contribute to understanding the role of the various risk factors of dietary, social and physical nature in the development of these conditions.

Hedwig Lee,Margaret T. Hicken +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that social risk factors accumulate to explain Black-White disparities in obesity for females and Black and Hispanic females in the U.S. have roughly a 50% increase in the odds of newly-developed obesity in adulthood and a 90% increase of persistent obesity in adolescence and adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increasing Prevalence of Overweight Among US Adults: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, 1960 to 1991
TL;DR: Observed trends in overweight prevalence and body mass index of the US adult population suggest that the Healthy People 2000 objective of reducing the prevalence of overweight US adults to no more than 20% may not be met by the year 2000.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term morbidity and mortality of overweight adolescents. A follow-up of the Harvard Growth Study of 1922 to 1935.
TL;DR: Overweight in adolescence predicted a broad range of adverse health effects that were independent of adult weight after 55 years of follow-up and was a more powerful predictor of these risks than overweight in adulthood.

JoAnn E. Manson,Walter C. Willett,Meir J. Stampfer,Graham A. Colditz,David J. Hunter,Susan E. Hankinson,Charles H. Hennekens,Frank E. Speizer +7 more
TL;DR: A J-shaped relation between body-mass index and overall mortality is observed and when women who had never smoked were examined separately, no increase in risk was observed among the leaner women, and a more direct relation between weight and mortality emerged.

Do Obese Children Become Obese Adults? A Review of the Literature
TL;DR: Although the correlations between anthropometric measures of obesity in childhood and those in adulthood varied considerably among studies, the associations were consistently positive and the risk of adult obesity was at least twice as high for obese children as for nonobese children.
