The continuous increases in the prevalence of adult and child obesity have become a serious public health concern.Both genetic and environmental factors contributed to the development of obesity from childhood to adulthood[19-21].However，data on the prevalence of obesity among populations from China，which has the largest population and has been undergoing a dramatic socioeconomic transition，are limited.Our findings showed that childhood BMI was a strong predictor of adulthood BMI and obesity status.Table 2 shows that 80%of obese children remain obese when they grow up.Table 3 and Figure 2 show that obese children had the tendency to remain obese when they reach adulthood.These results were consistent with those of previous studies[20，22-25]，which were mostly from high-income countries.Our study provides further evidence regarding the prevalence of obesity in middle-income countries and supports the concept that obesity begins in childhood and tends to persist into adulthood[26，27].
