Researchers from the National Institutes of Health measured children's height and weight at ages 2, 3, 4.5, 9, 11, and 12 years. They found that children who were overweight at least once from ages 2 - 4.5, were five times more likely to be overweight at age 12, than those who were not overweight at ages 2 - 4.5. Starting good habits early in life can help prevent childhood obesity.
