- Title
Early determinants of overweight at 4.5 years in a population-based longitudinal study.

Dubois, L; Girard, M
- Abstract
The roots of the obesity epidemic need to be traced back as early in life as possible in order to develop effective means for preventing obesity and its health consequences in the future. The aim of this paper is to examine a broad range of factors that may simultaneously contribute to childhood overweight in a population-based cohort of children followed from birth to 4.5 years, to determine which factors exert the most influence in early life.
