Early Adiposity Rebound

In their article, “Early adiposity rebound: causes and consequences for obesity in children and adults,” MF Rolland-Cachera, M Deheeger, M Maillot, F Bellisle recognize the fact that childhood obesity is becoming a more prevalent issue on a global level; they relate this to the trends with early adiposity rebound, which measures particular BMI patterns. The authors support their claim by including information and assessments of children in correspondence to their adiposity rebound, with charts included as well. They also note that the trends are directly related to the predictors of adult obesity and health risks later on in life. The authors have an informative tone and are targeting an interested audience, particularly one that cares about this issue of obesity.
