Title
Predicting preschooler obesity at birth: the role of maternal obesity in early pregnancy.
Authors
Whitaker, Robert C
Abstract
Knowing risk factors at birth for the development of childhood obesity could help to identify children who are in need of early obesity prevention efforts. The objective of this study was to determine whether children whose mothers were obese in early pregnancy were more likely to be obese at 2 to 4 years of age.
