Maternal Obesity Decreases Offspring Lifespan

2026-02-07

Abstract excerpt

Data in mice, nonhuman primates, and in humans demonstrate that exposure to maternal obesity increases the risk of multiple diseases in offspring. However, little is known about the aging effects of maternal obesity on the offspring. This study shows that maternal obesity significantly reduced the lifespan of both male and female mice born to obese dams despite being weaned onto a healthy diet at three weeks of ag...
