BARBOSA ARDILA, SAMUEL DAVID; HERNANDEZ RINCON, ERWIN HERNANDO y VERA, JOSÉ FERNANDO. Prevention of childhood obesity from a life course approach in the first years. Salud, Barranquilla [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.2, pp.741-764. Epub 09-Abr-2024. ISSN 0120-5552. https://doi.org/10.14482/sun.39.02.121.877.
It has been estimated that overweight and obesity were responsible of 3.4 million deaths worldwide. The prevalence of overweight and obesity has also increased substantially in children and adolescents by 4 7% in low income countries.
Objective:
Review the available evidence on the prevention of childhood obesity from the life course approach in the first years of life.
Materials and methods:
A review of the literature in indexed databases (EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL, CDSR, DARE, PSYINFO, Central, Clinical Trials and Medline-Ovid) was performed with MeSH type descriptors from 2000 to 2019; 698 articles were found, of which 62 were selected.
Results:
The risk factors for childhood overweight and obesity are nutritional status of the mother, consumption of coffee, cigarette, metabolic profile and diet in pregnancy, caesarean section, birth weight ≥ 3.86 kg, milk formula, breastfeeding <12 months, environmental contamination, use of sex hormones and antibiotics and sleep cycle in children <12 hours.
Conclusions:
The prevention of overweight and obesity requires early and sustained approaches over time, which should consider a wide range of factors from the life course approach, as well as involvement with other actors, to maintain healthy populations and prevent to the diseases derived from these conditions.
