In this book, leading figures in the field of Developmental Origins
of Health and Disease provide up-to-date information from human
clinical trials, cohorts, and animal physiology experiments to
reveal the interdependence between parental obesity and health of
the offspring. Obesity of the mother and father produces obesity in
their offspring, so we are caught up in an intergenerational cycle,
which means that even our children's future health is in peril.
This book gives a timely and much-needed synthesis of the
mechanisms, potential targets of future interventions, and the
challenges that need to be overcome in order to break the
intergenerational cycle of obesity. This has profound implications
for the way in which scientific, clinical and health policy
activities are to be directed in order to combat the so-called
epidemic of obesity, as well as diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular
disease. The book will be of interest to students, clinicians,
researchers and health policy makers who are either seeking an
introduction to the area of Developmental Origins of Health and
Disease or have a specific interest in the pathogenesis of obesity.
