Secular trends of obesity prevalence in urban Chinese children from 1985 to 2010: gender disparity.

Based on the data from six Chinese National Surveys on Students Constitution and Health (CNSSCH) from 1985 to 2010, we explored the secular trend in the prevalence of obesity in urban Chinese children over a period of 25 years. The aim of this study was to examine the gender disparities in the preva...
