Life-stage factors associated with overweight severity inadolescents

Background. Investigating life-stage factors associated with overweight may be useful in the prevention of excessive BMI increase. The main aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the route of delivery, birth weight and overweight onset on overweight severity in a sample of overweight adolescents followed at a Pediatric Obesity Clinic. Methods. Clinical data from 412 adolescents with overweight (BMI ≥ p85), aged 10-18 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Results. Adolescents born by cesarean section (CS) showed a lower age of overweight onset, compared to other methods of delivery (d= 0.33, p= .009). Birth weight was positively associated with BMI z-score (r=.164, p= 002) and waist circumference (WC) (r=.191, p=.001). The overweight onset was negatively associated with BMI z-score (r= -.277, p
