In 1989, a general population sample of 2,946 8-year-old boys was collected. To study childhood precursors of drunkenness frequency among 18-year-old boys in a representative, nation-wide 10-year follow-up study.

Both moderate (50th-90th percentile) and high (& amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp gt 90th percentile) levels of conduct problems at age 8 years were prospectively associated with a young adult being obese (BMI & amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp gt or = 30 odds ratio, 2.0 95% CI, 1.2-3.2 and OR, 2.9 95% Confidence interval, 1.5-5.9 respectively). Body mass index (BMI) was obtained from military examination records (n = 2209) conducted in early adulthood (age range, 18-23 years). In a national prospective population-based study conducted in Finland, child mental health, including depression, emotional problems, conduct problems, and hyperactivity (determined on the basis of child, parent, and teacher information), was assessed at age 8 years.
