Ruiz, M; Goldblatt, P; Morrison, J; Porta, D; Forastiere, F; Hryhorczuk, D; Antipkin, Y; Saurel-Cubizolles, MJ; Lioret, S; Vrijheid, M; Torrent, MBACKGROUND:Comparable evidence on adiposity inequalities in early life is lacking across a range of European countries.

METHODS:Prospective data of 45 413 children from 11 European cohorts were used. Children's height and weight obtained at age...
