Early childhood obesity

 

What makes this research so innovative is the focus it places on the very first phase of life, from pregnancy to the first two years of the child’s life, and the multidimensional approach taken to the mother-child unit. Consequently, the approach is strongly interdisciplinary, involving experts in the fields of midwifery, medicine, care, nutrition, psychology, biomedical science and IT.
