OBJECTIVE:: To identify longitudinal variables related to children's body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2) at age 8?y. DESIGN:: A longitudinal design, with nine interviews per child from ages 2 to 8?y. SUBJECTS:: In all, 70 white children (37 males, 33 females) who were continuous participants since infancy in the longitudinal study. Families were primarily middle and upper socioeconomic status. MEASUREMENTS:: At each interview, children's height and weight were measured, and mothers provided 3 days of the child's intake data (a 24-h recall and 2 days of food records). ANALYSES:: Analyses used were means±s.d., correlations, repeated measures analysis of variance, and forward stepwise regression. BMI at each interview was calculated and age of adiposity rebound was determined. RESULTS:: Children's BMI at 8?y was negatively predicted by age of adiposity rebound and positively predicted by their BMI at 2?y. Additionally, each model included one longitudinal dietary variable; mean protein and fat intakes recorded between 2 and 8?y were positive predictors of BMI at 8?y; mean carbohydrate intake over the same time period was negatively related to BMI at 8?y. R2 values indicated that these three-variable models predicted 41-43% of the variability in BMI among children. BMI of 23% of the children exceeded the 85th CDC percentile. CONCLUSIONS:: The results of this study show that factors in early life are associated with children's BMI at age 8?y.International Journal of Obesity (2004) 28, 476-482. doi:10.1038/sj.ijo.0802405 Published online 2 March 2004 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
