Another study found that 25% of obese adults were overweight as children. The latter study also found that if overweight begins before 8 years of age, obesity in adulthood is likely to be more severe. [115]
They found an estimated 42 million obese children under the age of five in the world of which close to 35 million lived in developing countries.11 Additional findings included worldwide prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity increasing from 4.2% (95% CI: 3.2%, 5.2%) in 1990 to 6.7% (95% CI: 5.6%, 7.7%) in 2010 and expecting to rise to 9 ...

The paradox was first described in 1999 in overweight and obese people undergoing hemodialysis [89] and has subsequently been found in those with heart failure and peripheral artery disease (PAD). [90] In people with heart failure, those with a BMI between 30.0 and 34.9 had lower mortality than those with a normal weight.
