Measurements of height, weight, %BF and WC were conducted for each subject. We obtained data on height and weight of subjects at birth, age 1.5\u00a0years and age 3\u00a0years from the Maternal and Child Health handbook. Rapid weight gain was defined as a change in weight\u2010for\u2010age standard deviation score greater than 0.67 from birth to age 1.5\u00a0years (infancy) or from age 1.5 to 3\u00a0years (early childhood).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>All anthropometric variables (BMI, %BF, WC and WHtR) at age 9 to 10\u00a0years were significantly higher in the rapid weight gain during both infancy and early childhood period group than in the no rapid weight gain group, regardless of sex. When compared with the no rapid weight gain group, rapid weight gain during early childhood period had significantly higher BMI and WC in boys and BMI, %BF and WC in girls. Compared with the no rapid weight gain group, the rapid weight gain during infancy group had a significantly higher WC in boys and significantly higher BMI and WC in girls.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Rapid weight gain during both infancy and early childhood was related to higher anthropometric measurements, including WHtR, among Japanese preadolescents, regardless of sex. This study suggests that rapid weight gain during infancy and early childhood may be a risk factor for general\/abdominal obesity later in life.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cch.12455","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,16]],"date-time":"2017-03-16T05:32:49Z","timestamp":1489642369000},"page":"435-440","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Rapid weight gain during infancy and early childhood is related to higher anthropometric measurements in preadolescence"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"43","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7263-3550","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"H.","family":"Nanri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Showa University School of Medicine  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Shirasawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Showa University School of Medicine  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0450-0718","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"H.","family":"Ochiai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Showa University School of Medicine  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Nomoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Showa University School of Medicine  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"Hoshino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Showa University School of Medicine  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Kokaze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Showa University School of Medicine  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-789X.2011.00952.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.101.S2.539"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/87.6.1760"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/87.6.1776"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/80.3.584"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/83.2.324"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2188\/jea.JE20120107"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ijo.2009.201"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2003.57"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0043503"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2009.761"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","first-page":"259","article-title":"Maternal and Child Health Handbook in Japan","volume":"53","author":"Nakamura Y.","year":"2010","journal-title":"Jpn Med Assoc J"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","first-page":"19","article-title":"Maternal and Child Health: work together and learn together for maternal and childhealth handbook","volume":"57","author":"Nakamura Y.","year":"2014","journal-title":"Jpn Med Assoc J"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08035250600719754"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.320.7240.967"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/78.6.1068"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1297\/cpe.2.87"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2188\/jea.JE20140040"}],"container-title":["Child: Care, Health and Development"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fcch.12455","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/cch.12455","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,3]],"date-time":"2023-10-03T14:17:13Z","timestamp":1696342633000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/cch.12455"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,16]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,5]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/cch.12455"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/cch.12455","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0305-1862","1365-2214"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0305-1862","type":"print"},{"value":"1365-2214","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,16]]}}}
