ABSTRACT (brief):
The alarming rise in childhood obesity and its health consequences are serious public health challenges. We will discuss the main features of our multi-level study design, the modeling approaches under the general mixed effects model structure, flexible tools for handling non-linear growth trajectories in BMI trajectories in children, and tools for fitting the models in order to draw valid inferences about the impacts of environmental and genetic factors on obesity development in children.
