Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally and presents a
major challenge to policy makers and clinicians alike. Recent
research has suggested that obesity has its origins in early life
and that early diet can programme a developing fetus' and young
infant's future susceptibility to obesity. This volume contains
recent findings presented at the International Conference on Early
Nutrition Programming and Health Outcomes in Later Life: Obesity
and Beyond - a satellite meeting of the 15th European Congress on
Obesity, held in Budapest in April 2007. Basic scientific research,
data from epidemiological studies and clinical trial results were
all presented during the programme. This volume includes articles
discussing the evidence for an effect of early nutrition
programming on later obesity and cardiovascular risk; the growing
evidence for an intergenerational cycle of obesity; the role of
maternal leptin in programming appetite; possible cellular
mechanisms for altered energy balance, including mitochondrial
programming and the effects of regulators of metabolism; and how
epigenetic changes might be the fundamental underlying mechanism
explaining programming effects. Consumer understanding of the
concept of early nutrition programming and the extent to which
early nutrition programming is taken into account in infant feeding
policies are also discussed.
