Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The first 1,000 days of life hypothesis posits that the time from conception to a child's second birthday is a critical window for child growth and the development of obesity. Several risk factors within prenatal life and infancy induce pathophysiological derangements and cumulatively heighten the risk of obesity in childhood and later life. This period thereby offers a unique opportunity for obesity prevention by targeting the complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors that contribute to aberrant growth and adiposity (Darling JC et al., Arch Dis Child (2020). PMID: 32111596 /DOI: 10.1136/archdischild-2019-316929). In this chapter, the role of nutrition from birth to 2 years of age on the risks of developing obesity is described.
