Abstract

Le surpoids pendant la petite et très petite enfance persiste jusqu'aux années préscolaire. La tendance au surpoids semble devenir plus forte lorsque les enfants grandissent et est plus prononcée chez les enfants de bas poids à la naissance que chez ceux de poids normal ou élevé à la naissance. L'observation continue de la taille et du poids des enfants en age préscolaire devrait être une stratégie de prêvention de l'obésité au cours de l'adolescence et de l'age adulte.
