TL;DR: Obesity levels in India are very high, across all zones, and the odds of being obese increases with age, and is higher among women and among urban dwellers.

TL;DR: Overweight/obesity in early adulthood was associated with adult hypertension irrespective of weight status in childhood, and the risk of adult hypertension could be reversed if overweight/obese children become normal weight adults.

TL;DR: The fatty acid (FA) profile of red blood cell (RBC) membranes as a comprehensive biomarker of children’s obesity metabolism, together with the evaluation of their dietary intake, was determined.

TL;DR: The results suggested that the mineral nutrient intakes were associated with BMI and WC in American adults, however, the longitudinal effects of mineral intakes and obesity need to be studied.

TL;DR: It is suggested that early life exposure to air pollution, green space and built environment characteristics may be associated with small changes in BMI growth trajectories during the first years of life, and that it is important to account for multiple exposures in urban settings.

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.
