Fetal Programming of Obesity
Not Provided

The overall goal of this project is to understand how a mother's health at conception may influence her child's growth and development. One objective is to evaluate the effects of body composition of mothers on their children's risk of obesity at age two years. This will be accomplished by following pregnant mothers throughout their pregnancy while monitoring closely their gestational weight gain and by following their infants until age two years. The second objective is to carefully evaluate the metabolism of these mothers and children to identify pathways that could lead to a fetal programming of obesity.
