“…Rallis et al [ 10 ] focused on studies with only body fat measures as their outcomes. Arisaka et al [ 11 ] explored the effects of rapid weight gain in infancy and childhood, rather than focusing solely on infancy. Finally, Rolland-Cachera et al [ 12 ] combined infant growth and nutrient intake as their exposure when investigating the risks of developing childhood obesity.…”

The prevalence of childhood obesity has been trending upwards over the last few decades. Recent evidence suggests that infant growth rate has the potential to increase the risk of obesity development during childhood. This systematic literature review aimed to summarise the existing evidence on the relationship between infant growth rate and subsequent childhood obesity. Studies were sought for that assessed the effect of infant growth rate on outcomes of overweight, obesity, BMI, waist circumference or body composition measures among a population group of children aged 2 to 12 years old. Data sources included PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science and MedLine. Twenty-four studies were identified as eligible and included in this review, out of 2302 publications. The ADA Quality Checklist was used to assess the quality of individual studies. Ten studies received a positive result and 14 studies a neutral result. A narrative synthesis was completed to present study characteristics and results. Several independent positive associations were determined between rapid growth at different stages during infancy and overweight, obesity, BMI, waist circumference and body composition in childhood. Further investigation is required to determine if a specific period of infancy carries greater associations of risk with childhood outcomes. Determining an ideal rate of infants’ growth as a means to minimise the future risk of childhood obesity should be the focus of future research that will also inform early life obesity prevention strategies.

“…The most frequent complications of overweight and obesity are metabolic disorders (e.g. diabetes and lipid metabolism disorders), increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, obstructive sleep apnea, bronchial asthma, and increased risk of neoplastic diseases [3,6]. The occurrence of overweight and obesity in children and youth is a complex phenomenon, which is significantly influenced by environmental, neurological, emotional, physiological, and genetic factors.…”

The problems of overweight and obesity concern not only adults, but are also increasingly affecting developing children. Material and methods. The study was conducted among parents of children aged 10-13 years.Based on the data obtained from questionnaires distributed to the parents, body mass index (BMI) and degree of nutrition was determined and the influence of socio-demographic factors on the nutritional status of children was analyzed.Results. This study found that approximately 16% of children aged 10-13 are categorized as overweight, and 26% are categorized as obese. Place of residence has a significant effect on the BMI of included children, with those living in a country being characterized by a significantly lower BMI compared to those living in a town or city (p=0.008). Children whose parents are overweight or obese are characterized by a higher BMI compared to children whose parents are not overweight or obese (p=0.001). Conclusions. This study shows that the presence of overweight or obesity in a parent is correlated with a higher BMI in their children. In addition, children living in the countryside have a significantly lower average BMI compared to children living in a town or city.

“…As expected, height increased at a faster rate at younger age [up to 20e24 months] compared with older age (up to 60e72 months). Much focus is on preventing rapid gain of fat mass in infancy to decrease the risk of non-communicable disorders such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes type 2 and the metabolic syndrome, as recently reviewed [37,38]. We therefore included assessment of body composition in the current follow-up study.…”

Longitudinal assessments of child growth: A six-year follow-up of a cluster-randomized maternal education trial

et al. 2021

Background & aims: Child growth impairments are rampant in sub-Saharan Africa. To combat this important health problem, long-term follow-up studies are needed to examine possible benefits and sustainability of various interventions designed to correct inadequate child growth. Our aim was to perform a follow-up study of children aged 60e72 months whose mothers participated in a two-armed cluster-randomized education intervention trial lasting 6 months in rural Uganda when their children were 6e8 months old with data collection at 20e24 and at 36 months. The education focused on nutrition, hygiene, and child stimulation. Methods: We measured growth using anthropometry converted to z-scores according to WHO guidelines. We also included assessments of body composition using bioimpedance. We used multilevel mixed effect linear regression models with maximum likelihood method, unstructured variance-covariance structure, and the cluster as a random effect component to compare data from the intervention (receiving the education and routine health care) with the control group (receiving only routine health care). Results: Of the 511 children included in the original trial, data from 166/263 (63%) and 141/248 (57%) of the children in the intervention and control group, respectively, were available for the current follow-up study. We found no significant differences in any anthropometrical z-score between the two study groups at child age of 60e72 months, except that children in the intervention group had lower (P ¼ 0.006) weight-for-height z-score than the controls. There were no significant differences in the trajectories of z-scores or height growth velocity (cm/year) from baseline (start of original trial) to child age of 60e72 months. Neither did we detect any significant difference between the intervention and control group regarding body composition (fat mass, fat free mass, and total body water) at child age 60 e72 months. Separate gender analyses had no significant impact on any of the growth or body composition findings. Conclusion:In this long-term study of children participating in a randomized maternal education trial, we found no significant impact of the intervention on anthropometrical z-scores, height growth velocity or body composition.
