Child obesity has become far more common in recent years, and is associated with health problems. This project looks at how obesity develops and changes over childhood and adolescence, how this is affected by changes in diet and physical activity, and how it relates to changes in blood pressure and other measures of health that are indicators of future heart disease risk. The project will also look at whether changes in early life can predict whether an individual is likely to be extremely obese when they are a young adult. Some obese people remain healthy despite being obese (e.g. they do not have higher risk of heart disease). This project will also look at whether changes in early life can predict which obese people will stay healthy. This project uses information from a study called ALSPAC, or ‘Children of the 90s‘. This started with over 14,000 pregnant women in Bristol in 1991/92. The mothers and their children have been followed ever since. I will also use information from ‘Born in Bradford‘ which is following 10,000 mothers and their children (5000 of European origin and 5000 of Pakistani origin) who were recruited when the mothers were pregnant between 2007-10.

近年来，儿童肥胖症变得越来越普遍，并与健康问题有关。该项目着眼于肥胖如何在儿童和青少年时期发展和变化，如何受到饮食和体育活动变化的影响，以及它如何与血压和其他健康指标的变化相关，这些指标是未来心脏病风险的指标。该项目还将研究早期生活的变化是否可以预测一个人在年轻时是否可能极度肥胖。一些肥胖的人尽管肥胖但仍然保持健康（例如，他们没有更高的心脏病风险）。该项目还将研究早期生活的变化是否可以预测哪些肥胖者将保持健康。该项目使用了一项名为ALSPAC或“90年代儿童”的研究的信息。1991/1992年在布里斯托，有14 000多名孕妇参加了这项工作。从那以后，母亲和孩子们一直被跟踪。我还将使用来自“出生在布拉德福德”的信息，该信息跟踪了10，000名母亲及其子女（5000名欧洲血统和5000名巴基斯坦血统），这些母亲在2007年至2010年期间怀孕时被招募。
