Obesity in toddlers is a growing public health concern with significant long-term health implications. Understanding the maternal factors associated with obesity in toddlers can help in developing effective prevention strategies. This synthesis examines the key maternal factors linked to obesity in toddlers based on multiple research studies.
Maternal Obesity Before and During Pregnancy:
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM):
Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy:
Human Milk Composition:
Inflammatory Markers:
Maternal factors such as pre-pregnancy obesity, excessive gestational weight gain, gestational diabetes mellitus, and smoking during pregnancy are significantly associated with an increased risk of obesity in toddlers. Additionally, maternal obesity can influence the composition of human milk and inflammatory markers in children, further contributing to the risk of obesity. These findings highlight the importance of managing maternal health and lifestyle factors before and during pregnancy to mitigate the risk of obesity in offspring.
