Children with obesity were at greater risk of mortality in early adulthood than a population-based comparison group, suggesting that risks begin earlier than later adulthood. 2. Deaths due to suicide and self-injury are also common in this group, warranting clinical consideration at a primary care level. Evidence Rating Level: 2 (Good) The impacts...

1. The prevalence of infants with high weight-for-length ratios increased from 13.4% in 2000 to 14.5% in 2004, remained constant from 2004 to 2010, and decreased to 12.3% in 2014 2. Significant differences were found across race-ethnicity groups, with higher incidences of high weight-for-length ratios in American Indian and Hispanic...

While children in nonparental care had higher BMIs at different intervals than children in parental care, when controlling for confounding variables, this difference was not significant. Evidence Rating Level: 2 Study Rundown: Several observational studies have been published to demonstrate that children who receive nonparental childcare are at increased risk of...
