Rate of change in body mass index at different ages during childhood and adult obesity risk

Abstract: Summary Background Childhood body mass index (BMI) predicts adult obesity. How growth trajectories during childhood relate to adult obesity risk is not well defined. Objective We aimed to characterize BMI growth trajectories from childhood to midlife and to examine the associations between BMI growth rates at childhood age points and adult obesity risk. Methods The longitudinal study included 2732 participants with repeated BMI measurements from childhood (4‐19 y) to adulthood (20‐51 y). A random‐effects model… Show more

“…[57,58]. Earlier BMI nadir and BMI accelerations from childhood to adolescence are risk factors for subsequent obesity, cardiometabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, ischemic stroke, and type 2 diabetes [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Given this, future studies could examine prenatal PFOA concentrations in relation to adolescent or adulthood cardiometabolic or cardiovascular risk factors or disease.…”

“…First, we determined whether the overall BMI trajectory varied according to PFAS tercile using the age × PFAS interaction term p value; we considered BMI trajectories to vary if this p value was <0.05. Then, we estimated five features of average BMI trajectories according to terciles of gestational PFAS concentrations that have been associated with increased risk of later life obesity and cardiometabolic disease [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. These features included [1]: the age (years) of the infancy BMI zenith [2], the magnitude (kg/m 2 ) of infancy BMI zenith [3], the age (years) of early childhood BMI nadir [4], the magnitude (kg/m 2 ) of early childhood BMI nadir, and [5] the rate (kg/m 2 /year) of adolescent BMI change (age 8-12 years).…”

“…We computed the baseline characteristics (mean, standard deviation) for each gender. Differences in means between participants of different gender were assessed using Studentʼs t test or Wilcoxon rank sum test as appropriate. Differences in means between different age groups were assessed using Kruskal‐Wallis H test.…”
