Toward Body Composition Reference Data for Infants, Children, and Adolescents
TL;DR: Body composition growth charts may be extended into adult life to evaluate changes in fat and lean mass through the entire life course to improve the understanding of the association between growth, body composition, health, and disease.

Establishing a standard definition for child overweight and obesity worldwide: international survey
TL;DR: The proposed cut off points, which are less arbitrary and more internationally based than current alternatives, should help to provide internationally comparable prevalence rates of overweight and obesity in children.
Adipose tissue as an endocrine organ.
TL;DR: These proteins commonly known as adipokines are central to the dynamic control of energy metabolism, communicating the nutrient status of the organism with the tissues responsible for controlling both energy intake and expenditure as well as insulin sensitivity.
