Nutritional Status Trends in Brazilian Preschoolers: A Cohort Study.

Conclusions: Prevalence of overweight among preschoolers was the same at 2 and 5 years of age, with no tendency to grow. Despite this, 2-year-old preschoolers with overweight present a twofold higher relative risk for excessive weight at 5 years of age. These changes of nutritional status at preschool age evince the great flexibility of their nutritional condition during this period of life. PMID: 31162946 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
