Background South Asian children and adults have a more adipose body com-position compared with those of European ancestry. This is thought to be related to their increased risk of metabolic disorders. However, little is known about how early in life such differences are manifest. Objective To determine whether there are differences in fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) between UK-born South Asians and White Europeans in infancy. Design A cross-sectional study of 30 South Asian and 30 White European infants aged 6–12 weeks. Mothers were recruited from clinics in London, and infants ’ FM and FFM were determined using air-displacement plethysmography (PeaPod Results In early infancy South Asians had less FFM than White Europeans [0.34 kg le...
