ABSTRACT

Obesity is a universal problema which affects all ages. It increases signigicantly in pregnant women. There is consistent epidemiological evidence that some adverse perinatal conditions are associated to a high risk for a future metabolic syndrome and related problems. Fetal programming and development are currently accepted concepts; however, the mechanisms involved are being investigated. Epigenetic disturbances, adipogenesis programming and appetite/saciety mechanisms are among the outstanding situations.
The importance of early weight gain, of feeding habits during the first months of life are assessed, all of which influence the preference of persons for certain foods. Based on these facts, special programs for prevention should be implanted in order to optimize neonatal health and to reduce the occurrence of disease in adults.
