Protein intake in early life and influence on health and body weight
France Bellisle, Dr. Sc.
The influence of early life factors on later health status and body weight has attracted much attention in recent years. Converging evidence suggests that events occurring during the foetal period or the first few years of life have a decisive impact on many health related aspects of development, including the ability to maintain an adequate body weight and body fat mass later on. In particular, early exposure to nutritional factors has been shown to exert a long-lasting influence on growth. Birth weight, growth velocity and early development of bodily tissues, including fat mass, seem to be highly sensitive to nutritional factors during pregnancy and in the first months of life. Recent observations strongly suggest that the current obesity epidemic has its roots in early life factors, among which nutritional influences play a major role.
