The transition to Post-industrial BMI values among US children [PDF]
, 2008 Background: The trend in the BMI values of US children has not been estimated very convincingly because of the absence of longitudinal data. Our object is to estimate time series of BMI values by birth cohorts instead of measurement years.

Premature Adiposity Rebound in Children Treated for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia* [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2001 The adiposity rebound (AR), when body mass index begins to increase after its nadir in childhood, is a critical period for the regulation of energy balance and adult obesity risk. The aim of the present study was to test whether children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) experience premature AR.

Bi-directional relationships between body mass index and height from three to seven years of age: an analysis of children in the United Kingdom Millennium Cohort Study [PDF]
, 2016 Adiposity and height are known to correlate in childhood but it is less clear whether height and weight gain occur in synergy. We investigate the bidirectional relationships between measures of height and body mass index (BMI) – an indicator of adiposity

Long-term trends in BMI: are contemporary childhood BMI growth references appropriate when looking at historical datasets? [PDF]
, 2009 Background Body mass index (BMI) is the most widely used surrogate measure of adiposity, and BMI z-scores are often calculated when comparing childhood BMI between populations and population sub-groups. Several growth references are currently used as the

The Korean Journal of Obesity, 2011 연구배경: 조기 지방증 반등은 생애 후기 비만의 위험을 증가시킨다. 한국 아동의 지방증 반등 시기를 추정하고, 모유수유가 지방증 반등시기 이전의 체질량지수에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 보다 어린 시기에 비만을 예방할 수 있 는 조기중재를 위한 기반이 되고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 보건복지부의 2005년 소아·청소년 신체계측 및 혈압측정 조사의 원자료를 이용하였다. 자료분석방법은 지 방증 반등시기 추정 및 모유수유가 체질량지수에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 STATA 11 프로그램을 이용하여 분위회귀분석을 실시하였다.
