Abstract
The prevalence of overweight has risen to 19% in children aged 6 to 11 years and 17% in adolescents aged 12 to 19 years. This paper examines gestational and infancy factors that influence the risk of overweight in childhood. Important factors to eliminate the infancy connection to childhood obesity include the following: (a) maternal lifestyle patterns, (b) infant feeding transitions, and (c) environmental factors. Prevention efforts need to focus on practice, research, and public policy.
