“…For this reason, they receive much concern and close observation from their parents and teachers. Our ®nding that obese children have a higher eating speed than that of the non-obese children is consistent with the ®ndings of other observational studies 30,31 which have utilized objective measurement on the eating speed of infants and preschoolers based on a small sample size. We also provided the mean longitudinal BMI values of the 6-y-old children for both the obese group and the control group (Figure 2).…”

“…33 There are also some studies that have used direct observation in the ®eld of Risk factors of childhood obesity in China Q He et al eating speed of the child, which requires many resources and can only be conducted on a small sample size. 31,32 We do, however, believe that our collected information about eating speed as provided by parents and teachers has its value. Our subject, either belonging to the obese group or the control group, is the only child in the family due to the`onechild' policy in China.…”

OBJECTIVE: To identify the risk factors of obesity in preschool children in China. DESIGN: A nationwide case Ð control study in eight cities in China. SUBJECTS: A total of 748 boys and 574 girls (age 0.1 ± 6.9 y), including the obese and non-obese. One obese child was matched with one non-obese child by sex and age. MEASUREMENTS: Weight, height and other measurements were taken for all the subjects. The information on child activity, feeding pattern and family background was collected by our study team from the parents and the kindergarten teacher. RESULTS: Birth weight 4.0 kg, high eating speed, obesity among the child's relatives 25%, mother's body mass index (BMI) b 25 kgam 2 and father's BMI b 25 kgam 2 were identi®ed as the major signi®cant (P`0.05) risk factors of obesity in preschool children in China. CONCLUSION: Family history of obesity, high birth weight and eating speed were identi®ed as the risk factors of obesity in preschool children in China. Our results show the need for family therapy as part of an intervention program for childhood obesity, which includes behavior modi®cation.

“…It may serve as a substrate for the later 'vigorous eating style' in childhood that has been strongly associated with adiposity. [42][43][44][45][46][47][48] Long-term studies of persons whose sucking behavior was measured in infancy, as those of Agras et al 39 and the current study will provide the opportunity to assess the predictive power of sucking. The failure of feeding mode to influence body size or composition at 2 y may be due to the small number (n ¼ 10) of exclusively breast feeders but it has been previously reported.…”

and 5 The Nutrition Center of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, USA OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the predictors of body size at 2 y of age. DESIGN: Prospective, longitudinal study of risk factors for weight gain of infants at high or low risk of obesity by virtue of their mothers' obesity or leanness. SUBJECTS: A total of 40 infants of obese mothers and 38 infants of lean mothers, equally divided among boys and girls. METHODS: Measurement of dependent variables: weight, length and skinfold thicknesses at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months and percent body fat at 3, 12 and 24 months. Measurement of independent variables: average daily caloric consumption at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months; and, at 3 months, nutritive sucking behavior during a test meal, total energy expenditure (TEE), sleeping energy expenditure (SEE), estimation of nonsleeping energy expenditure (TEEÀSEE) and socioeconomic status. Parental weights and heights were obtained by self-report at the time of recruitment. Partial correlation and mixed effects linear regression analyses were performed. RESULTS: Measures of body size (weight, length, skinfold thicknesses) and percent of body fat were almost identical between high-and low-risk groups at all times. Energy intake during six occasions over the 2 y, sucking behavior, family income and TEE predicted weight gain, controlling for body length. Parental body mass index was not associated with the child's body size during the first 2 y. During the first year, there were strong lagged correlations between energy intake and body weight and smaller correlations between protein intake and body weight. CONCLUSION: Energy intake, and not energy expenditure, was the determinant of body size in these infants at 2 y of age, as it had been at 1 y. Sucking behavior and TEE (positively) and family income (negatively) also contributed to body weight at 2 y. The novel finding of a lagged correlation between energy intake and body weight early in life suggests that energy intake is programmed for future growth and development.

“…The habit of eating rapidly and chewing less is associated with the development of obesity [15,16]. Data that is currently available suggests that the habit of eating rapidly also contributes to insulin resistance.…”
