Abstract

Discussion | As the first study, to our knowledge, of the association between participation in an existing large-scale preschool program and adult BMI, we found CPC participation was associated with significantly lower rates of adult BMI. This was especially apparent for high-risk groups, where reductions in obesity prevalence were up to 29%.
