Término preferido

childhood obesity as a risk factor for adult overweight  

Definición

  • Childhood obesity has been shown to predict adult obesity, indicating that early life factors may be important risk factors for adult obesity. A number of studies have shown that overweight children become overweight adults, with a five- to ninefold increase in adult obesity for individuals obese at age 9–13 years.
