  This note is devoted to the proof of convex Sobolev (or generalized
Poincar\'{e}) inequalities which interpolate between spectral gap (or
Poincar\'{e}) inequalities and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. We extend to
the whole family of convex Sobolev inequalities results which have recently
been obtained by Cattiaux and Carlen and Loss for logarithmic Sobolev
inequalities. Under local conditions on the density of the measure with respect
to a reference measure, we prove that spectral gap inequalities imply all
convex Sobolev inequalities with constants which are uniformly bounded in the
limit approaching the logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. We recover the case of
the logarithmic Sobolev inequalities as a special case.
