The contribution of maternal obesity and gestational weight gain to preschool child obesity

全世界有超过4300万0-5岁的儿童患有肥胖症，澳大利亚2-3岁的儿童中有21%患有肥胖症。子宫内环境在后期健康和疾病的发展中起着关键作用，代表了随后肥胖编程的关键时期。我们将评估3岁婴儿的健康结果（包括生长/肥胖），这些婴儿的母亲参加了一项评估产前饮食干预以限制妊娠期体重增加的随机试验。

Obesity affects more than 43 million children 0-5 years world-wide, and 21% of Australian children 2-3 years of age. The intra-uterine environment plays a key role in the development of later health and disease, representing a critical period in the subsequent programming of obesity. We will evaluate health outcomes (including growth/adiposity) for infants at 3 years, whose mother’s participated in a randomised trial evaluating an antenatal dietary intervention to limit gestational weight gain.
