WEDNESDAY, Jan. 29, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Baby fat may not be as cute
as it looks, new research suggests.
.
Five-year-olds who carry around extra weight may face four times the risk
of being obese at 14, compared to their normal-weight peers, the study
found.
.
Of the children who became obese between the ages of 5 and 14, nearly half
were overweight in kindergarten.
.
"We wanted to learn what are the ages of vulnerability and greater risk
for new cases of obesity? We found that new cases of obesity tended to
increase early on," said study author Solveig Cunningham, of Emory
University in Atlanta.
.
In the report, published in the Jan. 30 issue of the New England Journal
of Medicine, the researchers also found that socioeconomic status or
ethnicity had no impact on obesity.
.
"Obesity affects kids across all races and socioeconomic status. Children
from the wealthiest groups tended to have somewhat lower obesity risks,
but the differences weren't striking," Cunningham said.
.
Childhood obesity in the United States is a well-documented problem,
growing from 4.2 percent in 1963-1965 to 15.3 percent in 1999-2000,
according to background information in the study. Recent research suggests
that the rates of childhood obesity may have plateaued, but it remains a
serious problem.
.
To better identify ways to intervene and prevent childhood obesity,
Cunningham and her colleagues wanted to see whether there were times of
vulnerability across a child's life span, or if certain groups had a
greater risk.
