We examined differences in the secular trends for BMI, weight, and height among white, black, and Mexican\u2010American children.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Research Methods and Procedures<\/jats:italic>: Analyses were based on nationally representative data collected from 2 to 17 year olds in four examinations (1971\u20131974 through 1999\u20132002).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: Overall, black children experienced much larger secular increases in BMI, weight, and height than did white children. For example, over the 30\u2010year period, the prevalence of overweight increased \u223c3\u2010fold (4% to 13%) among 6\u2010 to 11\u2010year\u2010old white children but 5\u2010fold (4% to 20%) among black children. In most sex\u2010age groups, Mexican\u2010American children experienced increases in BMI and overweight that were between those experienced by blacks and whites. Race\/ethnicity differences were less marked among 2 to 5 year olds, and in this age group, white children experienced the largest increase in overweight (from 4% to 9%). In 1999\u20132002, the prevalence of extreme BMI levels (\u226599th percentile) reached 6% to 7% among black girls and Mexican\u2010American boys.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Discussion<\/jats:italic>: Because of the strong tracking of childhood BMI levels into adulthood, it is likely that the secular increases in childhood overweight will greatly increase the burden of adult disease. The further development of obesity interventions in different racial\/ethnic groups should be emphasized.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2006.39","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,23]],"date-time":"2008-04-23T13:22:19Z","timestamp":1208956939000},"page":"301-308","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":285,"title":["Racial and Ethnic Differences in Secular Trends for Childhood BMI, Weight, and Height"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"David S.","family":"Freedman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura Kettel","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mary K.","family":"Serdula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cynthia L.","family":"Ogden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William H.","family":"Dietz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.288.14.1728"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.291.23.2847"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Mean body weight, height, and body mass index, United States 1960\u20132002","volume":"347","author":"Ogden C.
