adiposity; body mass index; childhood; childhood obesity; children; cohort studies; confidence interval; meta-analysis; systematic review; waist circumference
Abstract:
... There is a need to accurately quantify levels of adiposity in order to identify overweight and obesity in children. This systematic review aimed to identify all diagnostic accuracy studies evaluating simple tests for obesity and adiposity, including body mass index (BMI), skin‐fold thickness and waist circumference, compared against high‐quality reference tests. Twenty‐four cohort studies includin ...

Abstract:
... A systematic review and meta‐analysis was performed to investigate the ability of simple measures of childhood obesity such as body mass index (BMI) to predict future obesity in adolescence and adulthood. Large cohort studies, which measured obesity both in childhood and in later adolescence or adulthood, using any recognized measure of obesity were sought. Study quality was assessed. Studies were ...

adulthood; adults; body mass index; breast neoplasms; childhood; childhood obesity; children; coronary disease; diabetes; hypertension; meta-analysis; morbidity; obesity-related diseases; prediction; risk; systematic review
Abstract:
... Obese children are at higher risk of being obese as adults, and adult obesity is associated with an increased risk of morbidity. This systematic review and meta‐analysis investigates the ability of childhood body mass index (BMI) to predict obesity‐related morbidities in adulthood. Thirty‐seven studies were included. High childhood BMI was associated with an increased incidence of adult diabetes ( ...
