研究人员对从出生到36岁的儿童进行了大规模的全国队列研究，以测试儿童期肥胖对成年期肥胖的预测价值。在36岁的肥胖人群中，只有21%（39）的人在11岁时肥胖，即使考虑到相关的社会因素，正确预测的百分比也远低于使用26岁时的体重数据所获得的预测率。儿童期肥胖相对较差的预测价值，以及成人肥胖与教育成就和原生家庭社会经济环境的关联，强调了鼓励良好的营养和锻炼习惯的必要性，而不是过分强调对儿童期肥胖的控制。
A large national cohort of children studied from birth to 36 years was used to test the predictive value of childhood obesity for obesity in adult life. Only 21% (39) of obese 36 year olds had been obese at age 11 years, and even when associated social factors were taken into account the correctly predicted percentage was much lower than the prediction rate achieved using body mass data from age 26 years. The comparatively poor predictive value of childhood obesity and the associations of adult obesity with educational achievements and socioeconomic circumstances of family of origin emphasise the need for encouraging good nutritional and exercise habits rather than placing undue emphasis on the control of childhood obesity.
