Abstract
The prevalence of obesity in U.S. children is rising. Etiologic studies have focused on infants and school age children but little is known about obesity in early childhood. To study the development of childhood obesity and its medical correlates, the authors reviewed 175 charts of obese children seen in a nutrition clinic.Keywords
