Table 3 Proportions of children in the study groups at 6 years of age with overweight or obesity (proportion and 95% confidence interval) assessed as ISO-BMI or weight-for-height percentage, where adiposity rebound is presented in two classes

From: A pragmatic controlled trial to prevent childhood obesity within a risk group at maternity and child health-care clinics: results up to six years of age (the VACOPP study)
