Table 2 Follow-up WCC BMI data was collected and the children were categorized as either underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese at each of their yearly visits according to the CDC guidelines. Twenty five percent of our cohort presented as overweight or obese at the 2nd year WCC, 25% presented as overweight or obese at their third year WCC, 33% at their 4th year WCC, and 35% at their 5th year WCC
