In a representative sample of 895 schoolchildren, aged between 9 years 10 months and 11 years 2 months, the risk of being overweight or obese was compared between those who had gained weight rapidly during infancy and those whose weight gain had been normal. A substantially increased risk ratio was found only in boys for whom a correlation analysis showed that the total weight gain during the first year of life was associated with the total body mass in relation to height, more or less independently of the degree of fatness at 10 1/2 years of age. In girls, a direct but very weak association was found between weight gain in infancy and the degree of fatness at 10 1/2 years. The implications of these findings with respect to aetiology and the possibilities of prevention are briefly discussed.
在一个由895名年龄在9岁10个月至11岁2个月之间的学童组成的代表性样本中，对婴儿期体重快速增加的儿童与体重正常增加的儿童的超重或肥胖风险进行了比较。仅在男孩中发现风险比大幅增加，相关性分析表明，生命第一年的总体重增加与身高相关的总体重有关，或多或少独立于10.5岁时的肥胖程度。在女孩中，婴儿期体重增加与10.5岁时的肥胖程度之间存在直接但非常微弱的关联。简要讨论了这些发现对病因学的影响以及预防的可能性。
