Prevalence of obesity (defined as body mass index ≥95th percentile) at age 5 years among white and black children associated with crossing upwards 2 or more major weight-for-length percentile lines (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2000 growth charts) during each of four 6-month age intervals in the first 24 months of life, according to the category of starting weight-for-length percentile at the start of each interval. The denominators are the number of participants who crossed ≥2 major percentiles during the 6-month age interval. The numerators are the number of participants who were obese at 5 years among those who crossed ≥2 major percentiles. Children whose starting weight-for-length percentile was ≥90th were excluded because they could not cross upwards 2 major percentile lines.
