摘要: The prevalence of Class 3 obesity (BMI ≥40 kg/m2) has more than doubled in the past 25 years. In a 14-year prospective study from age 10 to 24 biracial schoolgirl cohort (293 black, 256 white), we assessed childhood correlates BMI at 24. Of 42 girls with 24, 36 (86%) were black. By logistic regression, significant explanatory variables included top decile waist circumference 11 (odds ratio (OR) 5.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.3–13.9, P = 0.0002), ≥ Center for Disease Control (CDC) 2000 15% (OR 7.0, CI 2.5–19.3, and three-way interaction between race, insulin, average caloric intake 19 (for each unit increase, OR 1.7 1.3–2.2, 0.0003). Age BMI, circumference, predict young adulthood, facilitating identification high risk developing obesity.
