Ratio of weight to height gain: a useful tool for identifying children at risk of becoming overweight or obese at preschool age.

The findings indicated that birth weight and length at 20 and 40 months had positive linear relationships with overweight at a later age; however, these correlations did not reach statistical significance for obesity. 17 The results of the present study differ from the studies mentioned above because we found no statistically significant relationships between birth weight and BMI z-score in preschool-aged children.
