Obese children and adolescents are more likely to become obese as adults.3, 4 For example, one study found that approximately 80% of children who were overweight at aged 10–15 years were obese adults at age 25 years.3 Another study found that 25% of obese adults were overweight as children.5 The latter study also found that if overweight begins before 8 years of age, obesity in adulthood is likely to be more severe.

1. Paragraph with ellipsis:
Some may not believe that obesity in children is a serious health problem. They may think as I did that children’s chubbiness, especially toddlers and very young children, make them look healthy. I thought that it is only baby fat and will disappear when they grow up; however, this is not the case. As pointed out in an article at the Centers for Disease Control website, [one study found that appoximately 80% of children who were overweight……]

2. Paraphrase the passage:
Studies have been conducted by the Center for Disease Control showing that if you were overweight as a child, you will probably be overweight as an adult. If you were overweight before you were 8 years old, you may not only be overweight, but obese as an adult. Studies showed 80% of overweight 10 -14 year olds were obese at age 25, and 25% of obese adults were overweight as children.

3. Summarize the passage:
The Center for Disease Control conducted two studies with results showing people who were overweight as children became overweight or obese as adults. One study showed that 80% of overweight 10 -14 years olds were obese at age 25. Another study found that 25% of obese adults were overweight when they were children.
