Summary

Childhood obesity is increasing worldwide and causes a major health concern. Only limited insight exists into the natural history of childhood obesity at children already classified as obese. It is necessary to identify possible windows of opportunities to initiate treatment and to prevent further weight gain later in life.

This observational study follows the natural weight change in younger children with obesity without known intervention. The objective is to identify factors associated with achieving normal weight, having persistent obesity, or reaching higher levels of obesity, when following children age 5-10 years with obesity through childhood and puberty.

Data from health check-ups at school and Danish registries will be used to answer the research question.
