Inter‐individual variability in children's physical growth and body composition: Findings of longitudinal ELOS‐Pré study

Background Children's physical growth (PG) and body composition (BC) can be influenced by birth weight and type of delivery. Aim To longitudinally analyze the dynamics of PG and BC of children from 5 to 9 years; to investigate the inter‐individual differences according to age, sex, BW, and type...

Description
Summary:Background Children's physical growth (PG) and body composition (BC) can be influenced by birth weight and type of delivery. Aim To longitudinally analyze the dynamics of PG and BC of children from 5 to 9 years; to investigate the inter‐individual differences according to age, sex, BW, and type of delivery across the following years of the study. Subjects and methods A total of 1236 children (597 boys) were evaluated at 5‐years of age and followed annually until 9‐years. PG and BC measurements were evaluated. Multilevel modeling was used. Results Annual increments were observed (p
