| Popis: | Obesity in early childhood is associated with increased risk of chronic diseases, but studies of body composition at preschool ages are sparse.

Body composition was measured using segmental multifrequency bioimpedance analysis (BIA) in 476 children and in 781 children at age 3 and 5 years, respectively. Of those, 308 had repeated BIA measurements at both ages. BMI-SDS was used for classification of normal weight and overweight children.
