The feeding pattern, calorie intake, weight and height were studied at various ages during the first 12 months in 243 infants born in Sweden. The feeding pattern and calorie intake was close to that recommended. 0-6% in each age group were found to be obese (20-40% above the standard weight) and 15-23% overweight (10-20% above the standard weight). The mean calorie intake during the months before and when obesity and overweight were diagnosed exceeded the normal by 10% or less. When re-examined at age 2 plus or minus 1/2 years, 50% of those children obese up to 1 year remained so, and only 2 earlier overweight had become obese. 25% of the obese children had one obese parent, compared with 10% of the normal children and overweight ones. The low incidence of overnutrition and the low freqency of obese and overweight infants in this study compared with previous studies support the idea that high calorie intake is of importance in the development of obesity during infancy. Accordingly, overnutrition seems to be one factor, in the multifactorial aetiology of obesity, and reduction of overnutrition can reduce, but not abolish, infantile obesity. Whether the reduction of this will subsequently prevent adult obesity remains to be proved.
对瑞典出生的243名婴儿出生后头12个月内不同年龄段的喂养方式、卡路里摄入量、体重和身高进行了研究。喂养方式和卡路里摄入量接近推荐水平。每个年龄组中0 - 6%的婴儿被发现肥胖（比标准体重高20 - 40%），15 - 23%超重（比标准体重高10 - 20%）。在诊断出肥胖和超重之前及当时的几个月里，平均卡路里摄入量比正常水平超出10%或更少。在2岁左右（正负半年）重新检查时，1岁前肥胖的儿童中有50%仍然肥胖，只有2名之前超重的儿童变成了肥胖。25%的肥胖儿童有一位肥胖的父母，而正常儿童和超重儿童中这一比例为10%。与之前的研究相比，本研究中营养过剩的低发生率以及肥胖和超重婴儿的低频率支持了高热量摄入在婴儿期肥胖发展中起重要作用的观点。因此，营养过剩似乎是肥胖多因素病因中的一个因素，减少营养过剩可以减少但不能消除婴儿肥胖。这是否随后会预防成人肥胖仍有待证明。
