To follow and predict the evolution of adiposity during growth, individual adiposity curves, assessed by the weight/height2 index, were drawn for 151 children from the age of 1 mo. to 16 yr. Adiposity increases during the 1st yr and then decreases. A renewed rise, termed here the adiposity rebound, occurs at .apprx. 6 yr. Individual weight/height2 curves may differ regarding their percentile range level and age at adiposity rebound. A relationship between the age at adiposity rebound and final adiposity was shown. An early rebound (before 5.5 yr) is followed by a significantly higher adiposity level than a later rebound (after 7 yr). This phenomenon is observed whatever the subject''s adiposity at 1 yr. These observations might be connected with the cellularity of adipose tissue.
