Abstract Background Underweight occurs when caloric intake is insufficient to maintain growth. While it has long been assumed that underweight in the first 2 years of life associated with lower growth potential later childhood, longer term outcomes high income countries are unclear. Objectives The primary objective was evaluate relationship between and body mass index z-score (zBMI) childhood. Secondly, we examined weight-for-age (WAZ) height-for-age (HAZ) how sex zBMI trajectory modify...
Abstract Background Children with underweight in the first 2 years have lower body mass index z‐score (zBMI) and height‐for‐age (HAZ) later childhood.

Underweight in children is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a body mass index z-score (zBMI) < -2. The objective was to evaluate relationship between underweight first two years of life and zBMI, weight-for-age z score (WAZ), height-for-age-z (HAZ) from 2 10 age. Secondly, explore whether sex zBMI growth trajectory modify these associations.
