Genetic and environmental correlates of growth patterns leading to obesity

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The intrauterine period is a vulnerable period of development. Any adverse environment can permanently change the body's organ structure and function, expressed as an increased disease risk later in life. Studies show that variability in growth patterns in early life is associated with obesity and other cardiovascular diseases in adulthood, but the genetic and environmental determinants of these processes are larg...
