This book is about a study that involved a cross-sectional examination of a group of 3rd graders to determine if correlates of child body mass index (BMI) existed. Children from the Jefferson County, Alabama area were recruited as a result of their participation in the Hi5+ dietary intervention project.

In addition, it appears that there are several predictors of child BMI in this group of children, including certain portions of the diet as well as several psycho-social variables.
