Twenty-one percent of obesity and 59% of overweight frequencies were noted on the whole group.
Recently, attention has focused on the potential relation between overweight and frequency and severity of headache attacks [ 9, 10] and some evidence for this relationship has been demonstrated [ 11, 12].
In normal and overweight adults multiple frequency BIA underestimated percentage of body fat within the precision of the BIA instrument (2%) [ 88, 89].
There were no significant differences among the lean and overweight groups for frequency of smoking, insulin use, ARB/ACEI, or statin treatment.
The low preterm birth rate is related to a very low rate of out-of-marriage or teenage pregnancies, or under influence of alcohol, tobacco, drug addicts, overweight and low frequency of sexual activities and exercise in later trimesters as sociocultural factors.
Consequently, looking at the relationship between adiposity status and age, we grouped together the closest values of overweight and obese frequencies, resulting in four age groups.
Exposure to chronic maternal depression was associated with decreased frequency of overweight at 6, 12 and 24 months, although the results did not achieve statistical significance (Table 2).
Furthermore the rapidly increasing frequency of overweight and obese individuals in many parts of the world cannot be due to increase in frequencies of any of the obesity related genes.
The frequency of overweight was 15.7%, and of obesity 9.2%.
A progressive and significant (P = 0.001) increment in the frequency of overweight was seen in men.
The frequency of overweight and obese in our cohort as determined by WHO standards approaches 50% at 3 YO.
