- Ten Putative Contributors to the Obesity Epidemic (2009, neutral): “Infants born at this lower end of the spectrum may manifest the thrifty phenotype and be predisposed to catch-up growth and later onset of obesity (Stettler et al., 2002).”
- Systematic review and meta-analyses of risk factors for childhood overweight identifiable during infancy (2012, methodology): “However, Weyermann et al 26 found a signi fi - cant decrease in the odds of overweight at 2 years of age for infants who were breastfed for more than 6 months compared with infants who were breastfed for less than 3 months (AOR 0.4, 95% CI 0.2 to 0.8).”
- Global standard for the composition of infant formula: recommendations of an ESPGHAN coordinated international expert group. (2010, background): “A high weight gain in healthy infants has been associated with an increased risk of later obesity (9,10).”
- Being big or growing fast: systematic review of size and growth in infancy and later obesity (2005, background): “suggesting that interventions aimed at modifying childhood growth could prevent adult obesity. Recent studies in the US and Finland have shown that patterns of growth during infancy may be associated with both childhood and adult obesity,”
- Obesity in children and young people: a crisis in public health. (2004, background): “Another possibility is that post-natal weight gain is important: a recent study reported that rapid weight gain during the first 4 months of life increased risk of obesity at 7 years of age, independently of birth weight and gestational age, weight at 1 year, maternal BMI and education (219).”
- Early life risk factors for obesity in childhood: cohort study (2005, background): “Duration of night time sleep may alter later risk of obesity through growth hormone secretion, or because sleep reduces the child's exposure to factors in the environment that promote obesity, such as food intake in the evening. Alternatively, duration of night time sleep may be a marker for some ot”
- Rapid growth in infancy and childhood and obesity in later life – a systematic review (2005, methodology): “Stettler, in his 2002 US study (24), proposes two models of analysis; in one of them, the author adjusts growth in weight in the first 4 months of life to the weight at the end of the first year, thus reducing the effect of the former by adjusting for a likely mediator.”
