Risk factors in the first 1000 days of life associated with childhood obesity: a systematic review and risk factor quality assessment
Adverse early life exposures might negatively affect foetal and infant development, predisposing children to obesity. In this paper, the researchers aimed to systematically identify and evaluate risk factors for childhood obesity in preconception, pregnancy, and infancy, and assess their potential as targets for future prediction and prevention strategies. This work was conducted by an expert group of the European branch of the International Life Sciences Institute, ILSI Europe.
