• Obesity: Risk factors, complications, and strategies for sustainable long‐term weight management (2017, background): “Additionally, the prevalence of childhood obesity in 2- to 17-year-olds in the United States has increased from 14.6% in 1999–2000 to 17.4% in 2013–2014 (Skinner & Skelton, 2014).”
• Epidemiology of Obesity and Diabetes and Their Cardiovascular Complications (2016, positive): “5 is another metric for defining abdominal obesity in youth, aged 6 to 18 years, because this cutoff may overestimate prevalence of abdominal obesity in children aged <6 years.(13) Upward trends in abdominal obesity among children and adolescents were much steeper than those in adults.”
• The Epidemiology of Obesity: A Big Picture (2015, background): “obesity have increased significantly [20].”

• Microbial reconstitution reverses maternal diet-induced social and synaptic deficits in offspring (2016, positive): “Given the increase in the prevalence of obesity (Skinner and Skelton, 2014), it is important to understand the neurobiological mechanism by which maternal obesity affects offspring behavior and brain function.”
