Is the adiposity rebound a rebound in adiposity?

International Journal of Pediatric Obesity, 2011
Early adiposity rebound ([AR], when body mass index [BMI] rises after reaching a nadir) strongly predicts later obesity. We investigated whether the upswing in BMI at AR is accompanied by an increase in body fat.Community-based cohort study.A total of 299 first-born children (49% male). Measurements.

Factors Associated With Early Adiposity Rebound

Pediatrics, 2000
Objective.The age at which body mass index (BMI) increases after its nadir in childhood, adiposity rebound (AR), is a critical period for the development of obesity. Children with early AR are at substantially increased risk of adult obesity. Few studies have examined the factors that influence the timing of the AR.

Adiposity Rebound and the Development of Metabolic Syndrome

Pediatrics, 2014
OBJECTIVE: The age of adiposity rebound (AR) is defined as the time at which BMI starts to rise after infancy and is thought to be a marker of later obesity. To determine whether this age is related to future occurrence of metabolic syndrome, we investigated the relationship of the timing of AR with metabolic ...

Polygenic interactions with adiposity rebound in the prediction of thelarche

Pediatric Research, 2020
The earliest onset of puberty had shifted downward, which may be due to the role of early growth and development factors in childhood.All of 1575 Kindergarten Two (K2) children from Anhui province, China were followed up to elementary school. Girls (n = 342) with available data on AR and breast development were included for this analysis.

Early Adiposity Rebound and the Risk of Adult Obesity

Pediatrics, 1998
Objective. At 5 to 6 years of age, body fatness normally declines to a minimum, a point called adiposity rebound (AR), before increasing again into adulthood. We determined whether a younger age at AR was associated with an increased risk of adult obesity and whether this risk was independent of fatness at AR and parent obesity.Design.

Early adiposity rebound in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome

Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2018
Abstract Background Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is associated with marked obesity that can lead to severe complications such as diabetes mellitus. Early adiposity rebound (AR) is associated with future obesity and an increased risk of diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome.

Adiposity rebound in children: a simple indicator for predicting obesity

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1984
To follow and predict the evolution of adiposity during growth, individual adiposity curves, assessed by the weight/height2 index, were drawn for 151 children from the age of 1 month to 16 yr. Adiposity increases during the 1st yr and then decreases. A renewed rise, termed here the adiposity rebound, occurs at about 6 yr.

Small head circumference at birth and early age at adiposity rebound

Acta Physiologica, 2013
AbstractAimsThe adiposity rebound is the age in childhood when body mass index is at a minimum before increasing again. The age at rebound is highly variable. An early age is associated with increased obesity in later childhood and adult life. We have reported that an early rebound is predicted by low weight gain between birth and 1 year of age and ...

Rate of Fat Gain Is Faster in Girls Undergoing Early Adiposity Rebound

Obesity Research, 2004
AbstractObjective: To determine the changes in body composition (fat and lean mass) occurring in children during adiposity rebound (AR).Research Methods and Procedures: Thirty‐nine girls, 3 to 6 years of age at baseline, underwent yearly DXA scans for 2 years. An additional DXA scan was obtained 4 to 5 years after baseline.

Early adiposity rebound: causes and consequences for obesity in children and adults

International Journal of Obesity, 2006
Childhood obesity is an important public health problem, with a rapidly increasing frequency worldwide. Identification of critical periods for the development of childhood and adolescent obesity could be very useful for targeting prevention measures. Weight status in early childhood is a poor predictor of adult adiposity status, and most obese adults ...
