Timing of motor milestones achievement and development of overweight in childhood: a study within the Danish National Birth Cohort

摘要: SummaryWhat is already known about this subject The risk of childhood obesity influenced by a number pre- and post-natal factors. The correlated with body weight during infancy, which might be related to the psychomotor development child. The previous literature on motor milestones overweight limited results are inconsistent. What study adds Weight status in early life timing achievement gross (the ability sit walk) largely independent each other. Timing does not predict or increased BMI later childhood. Background Overweight may hinder delayed increase for reasons involving physical activity building lean mass. Objective To investigate whether birth mass index (BMI) at 5 months associated up walk these age 7 years. Methods We used data from Danish National Birth Cohort 25 148 children born between 1998 2003. Follow-up took place 2003 2010. Mean follow-up was 7.04 years. We logistic linear regression analyses. Results Birth were marginally earlier (regression coefficients −0.027 months; [CI −0.042; −0.013] −0.092 −0.118; −0.066]). Age sitting walking years (ORs 0.97 0.95–1.00] 1.00 0.96–1.04]). Later predicted lower (ln-BMI –z-scores −0.023 −0.029; −0.017] −0.005 −0.015; 0.005)). Conclusions All observed associations negligible magnitude we conclude that appear other seems BMI.
