- Abstract
The article discusses a study that examined the age of onset of overweight and obesity of children aged 2 to 15 in Nuuk, Greenland, born between 1973 and 1992. Age at onset of overweight is defined as the age at which body mass index (BMI) was above an internationally recommended cutoff point for overweight. The research demonstrated that an increasing number of children reached the overweight state and did so at an earlier age for later cohorts.
