Epidemiological research on thinness, particularly in early childhood, is limited. This study tracked thin children aged 5 years back to birth, compared them with normal‐weight children and investigated the relationship with parental thinness.
Methods
We enrolled 2678 children (50.5% boys) aged 5 years and attending kindergarten or nursery in the Nara Prefecture of Japan. The children's height and weight at birth, 1.5 years and 3.5 years, were obtained from mother–child health records. Child thinness was defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of less than the fifth percentile of the reference values for Japanese children, and parental thinness was defined as a BMI of |

Epidemiological research on thinness, particularly in early childhood, is limited. This study tracked thin children aged 5 years back to birth, compared them with normal‐weight children and investigated the relationship with parental thinness.
Methods
We enrolled 2678 children (50.5% boys) aged 5 years and attending kindergarten or nursery in the Nara Prefecture of Japan. The children's height and weight at birth, 1.5 years and 3.5 years, were obtained from mother–child health records. Child thinness was defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of less than the fifth percentile of the reference values for Japanese children, and parental thinness was defined as a BMI of <18.5.
Results
The overall prevalence of thinness at 5 years of age was 4%, with no significant difference between genders. At every age, weight z‐scores and BMI percentiles were significantly lower in thin children than normal‐weight children. The increment in weight z‐scores between birth and the age of 1.5 years was significantly lower in thin children. The only parental link was paternal thinness and thinness in boys.
Conclusion
Careful observation of body weight from birth is important to reduce thinness at 5 years of age. Paternal thinness may be a risk factor for thinness in boys.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0803-5253</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1651-2227</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/apa.12810</identifier><identifier>PMID: 25274573</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Norway: Blackwell Publishing Ltd</publisher><subject>Age Factors ; Body Mass Index ; Case-Control Studies ; Child, Preschool ; Early childhood ; Female ; Humans ; Infant ; Infant, Newborn ; Japan ; Longitudinal Studies ; Longitudinal study ; Male ; Parents ; Prevalence ; Sex Factors ; Thinness ; Thinness - epidemiology</subject><ispartof>Acta Paediatrica, 2014-12, Vol.103 (12), p.1285-1289</ispartof><rights>2014 Foundation Acta Pædiatrica.
