Developmental Trajectories of Overweight and Obesity of US Youth through the Life Course of Adolescence to Young Adulthood Adolescent Health, Medicine and Therapeutics 3 (2012): 33-42.

Objective: To detect subgroups with different risks at different ages to develop overweight and obese during the adolescence–young adulthood period. Conclusions: Findings of this study imply that five risk groups for weight gain like five consecutive “tests” exist from middle-school period to work-and-family formation. Failure to pass any of these tests in the life course could lead to overweight or obese status. Further research needs to study life-course-specific factors and mechanisms for more effective weight control. |
