Childhood obesity as a predictor of morbidity in adulthood: a systematic review and meta‐analysis (2016, background): “Childhood obesity is also associated with an increased risk of morbidities in childhood, such as asthma and psychological problems (53), so while childhood obesity may not predict long-term outcomes it remains of health concern in childhood itself.”
Early‐life determinants of overweight and obesity: a review of systematic reviews (2010, background): “Childhood obesity has well-documented, serious adverse psychological, social and health consequences in childhood and later in life, especially as far as cardiovascular disease (4), metabolic syndrome and associated mortality, are concerned (5,6).”
Tracking of childhood overweight into adulthood: a systematic review of the literature (2008, background): “Existing literature suggests that overweight youth are at increased risk of remaining overweight (1,6).”
