Abstract
- The authors respond to comments on their research which showed a decline in obesity among low-income children between 2010 and 2016. Topics discussed include limitations of body mass index (BMI) as a surrogate of adiposity, the association between height and excess weight among children, unadjusted correlation between height and BMI and association of childhood height with body fatness assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.
