The Impact of the First 1,000 Days on Childhood Obesity
The first 1,000 days of life are a critical period for childhood obesity development, and thus prevention. This evidence brief provides the results of a systematic review on risk factors for and interventions that could prevent developing childhood obesity later in life. This evidence summary could be used in the creation of population-level obesity prevention interventions that are cost-effective and sustainable.
