Identification of sensitive periods of weight status transition over the lifespan in Chinese population
Young adulthood is the most sensitive period for obesity onset, whereas childhood and adolescence are the most sensitive periods for obesity resolution. The findings suggest the heterogeneity of susceptibilities to weight status transitions across different life stages and highlight the importance of the development of age-appropriate approaches for the prevention and intervention of obesity.
