| Research Abstract |
A follow-up study(mean years elapsed : 23.7) was conducted involving those who were obese in childhood. The mean age of subjects was 10.4 on the initial consultation, and 34.2 at the time of the study. The mean percentage of overweight persons on the initial consultation was 46.1±19.1%, while the mean BMI at the time of the study was 28.9±7.0 kg/m2. Those who were obese in childhood tended to show a higher adult obesity rate ; childhood obesity continued in 68.8% of all subjects. In those with continuous obesity, compared to those in whom obesity was resolved in adulthood, waist, subcutaneous and visceral fat areas, and uric acid levels significantly increased, while HDL-C levels significantly decreased.
