TL;DR: It is indicated that adult adiposity is associated with an increased risk of biliary tract cancer, particularly GBC and IHBDC, and this provides evidence for recommending weight maintenance programs to reduce the risk of developing these cancers.

TL;DR: Body dissatisfaction and eating disorders (ED) among young females may increase in limited‐resource settings as exposure to media and higher‐resource cultures increases.

TL;DR: The growing prevalence of obesity in childhood and adolescence offers a plausible explanation for the increase in T1D incidence observed in recent decades and further studies are needed to clarify whether the control of body weight can prevent or delay the current and continuing rise in T2D incidence.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors propose a set of science-based indicators and associated target values that are quantifiable and actionable to make scenario analysis meaningful, relevant, and simple enough to be transparent and communicable.

TL;DR: The development of obesity and cardiometabolic risks may be established already in early childhood; thus, the data provide a further basis for timely interventions targeted at young children from low-income countries with unfavorable growth patterns.

TL;DR: The proposed cut off points, which are less arbitrary and more internationally based than current alternatives, should help to provide internationally comparable prevalence rates of overweight and obesity in children.

TL;DR: The global, regional, and national prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adults during 1980-2013 is estimated using a spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression model to estimate prevalence with 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs).

TL;DR: The new curves are closely aligned with the WHO Child Growth Standards at 5 years, and the recommended adult cut-offs for overweight and obesity at 19 years.

TL;DR: It is estimated that undernutrition in the aggregate--including fetal growth restriction, stunting, wasting, and deficiencies of vitamin A and zinc along with suboptimum breastfeeding--is a cause of 3·1 million child deaths annually or 45% of all child deaths in 2011.

TL;DR: The present report has been written to focus attention on the issue and to urge policy-makers to consider taking action before it is too late.
