Infant feeding and body composition in later life

  • Chapter
Recent Developments in Infant Nutrition

Part of the book series: Tenth Nutricia Symposium ((NUSY,volume 9))

Abstract

Although obesity is associated with increased mortality, one does not have to be obese to be at increased risk. Body weight in the high end of the ‘normal’ range increases the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) (1) and mortality (2,3). A major weight gain ultimately resulting in overweight and obesity typically occurs between 20 and 35 years of age (4). One approach to the prevention of adult obesity is to identify when the trend for overweight and obesity first becomes evident. In a significant proportion of 36-year-old obese adults the trend for development of obesity begins with onset of overweight in childhood (5) (Fig. 1). Critical periods for the development of obesity were recently considered to be the prenatal period, early childhood, and adolescence (6) and the early pre-weaning period during the first year of life (7–9).
