- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the link between changes in height and obesity in Chilean preschool children from 1996 to 2004. It cites Chile as a unique example of the nutrition transition because it has experienced changes at a rate much faster than other countries. The study found that over 9 years, the rate of obese and overweight children did not change dramatically. It mentions that Body Mass Index (BMI) is widely used in both clinical and research settings.
