Prenatal social determinants of health are associated with potential key mediators related to child obesity-promoting behaviors. Innovative primary care–based interventions that combine primary and secondary/tertiary prevention may be needed to address the heterogeneity of risk that exists in low-income communities.Poverty-related disparities in early child obesity have substantial public health consequences, including adverse effects on child well-being and increased later obesity. Determining the best ways to help families to engage in healthy behaviors required to prevent obesity is key to reducing disparities in early child obesity. Social determinants of health (SDH), which include access to adequate food, energy, and housing, contribute to a family's ability to establish healthy behaviors. Pregnancy is a unique time of transition and can increase a woman's vulnerability to hardships. Therefore, it is critical to address material hardships during pregnancy and infancy. Understanding how hardships affect parenting attitudes and behaviors is vital for developing obesity prevention strategies in high-risk communities.
