Abstract
Objective
Although many studies have found that childhood levels of body mass index (BMI; kg/m(2)) are associated with adult levels, it has been reported that childhood BMI is not associated with adult adiposity. We further examined these longitudinal associations.
Design
Cohort study based on examinations between 1973 and 1996.
