Several human and animal studies have demonstrated that cardiometabolic parameters in infancy, childhood, adolescence and even adulthood are negatively influenced by many factors besides energy imbalance. Interestingly, maternal weight excess both before and during pregnancy seems to be a negative determinant of metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes in the offspring. This review includes both human and animal studies and finally highlights the link between maternal obesity and cardiometabolic disorders in offspring.

Abstract
Several human and animal studies have demonstrated that cardiometabolic parameters in infancy, childhood, adolescence and even adulthood are negatively influenced by many factors besides energy imbalance. Interestingly, maternal weight excess both before and during pregnancy seems to be a negative determinant of metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes in the offspring. This review includes both human and animal studies and finally highlights the link between maternal obesity and cardiometabolic disorders in offspring.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
