Examining a Developmental Approach to Childhood Obesity
Recent scientific evidence points to the origins of childhood obesity as an outcome of the dynamic interplay of genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors throughout early development, with a compelling body of evidence suggesting that both maternal and paternal nutritional and other exposures affect a child''s risk of later obesity. The burgeoning field of epigenetics has led researchers to s...
