The researchers then assessed the link between concentrations of HCB in cord blood and weight and BMI at age 6.5 years. There were three different statistical models that took into account different factors: one that took into account child age and sex, a second that took into account sex, maternal age, height, pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity, education and number of children and a third that also took into account the weight of the child at birth.

Amazing really, just this past year I have heard 3 different theories about obesity, this one, an idea that there is an obesity virus and of course, the low carbohydrate solution. It's all very interesting!

I agree Antara, I find the issue of obesity featuring an interesting aspect in the human state of affairs. from a specie striving to have enough food to survive, to facing the dangers of extreme overweight.
