“… Rapid weight gain during early childhood may lead to excess adiposity, and metabolic syndrome later in life, especially in countries undergoing a rapid nutrition transition. [77][78][79][80]  Intake over several months may affect recipients gut microbiome and may also influence their taste preferences and later life consumption patterns. 80,81  Potential mis-targeting of supplements due to errors in the detection of MAM or SAM children, or sharing with siblings, may lead to excess energy intakes among children who are not energy deficient or suffering from acute malnutrition.…”

Key messages  Actions to address undernutrition and overweight/obesity have historically been developed and delivered separately from one another. There is some evidence that programmes addressing undernutrition have unintentionally increased risks for obesity/DR-NCDs in low-and middle-income countries where food environments are changing rapidly. Yet policies and interventions to address undernutrition typically fail to consider these risks.

“…Law et al [ 60 ] found that systolic blood pressure increased for each decrease in birth weight standard deviation score and for each increase in early weight gain standard deviation score. The interaction is complex with evidence from the Fels Longitudinal Study showing that a higher increase in weight-for-length z score in the first 2 years of life was associated with higher adulthood BMI and systolic blood pressure with the strongest effect in the most recent cohort during the obesity epidemic [ 61 ]. This brings into question environmental or food quality factors potentially mediating some of these effects.…”

Neonatal hypertension: concerns within and beyond the neonatal intensive care unit

Neonatal hypertension occurs in 1%–2% of neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) although may be underdiagnosed. Blood pressure values in premature neonates change rapidly in the first days and weeks of life which may make it more difficult to recognize abnormal blood pressure values. In addition, the proper blood pressure measurement technique must be used to ensure the accuracy of the measured values as most blood pressure devices are not manufactured specifically for this population. In premature neonates, the cause of the hypertension is most commonly related to prematurity-associated complications or management while in term neonates is more likely to be due to an underlying condition. Both oral and intravenous antihypertensive medications can be used in neonates to treat high blood pressure although none are approved for use in this population by regulatory agencies. The natural history of most neonatal hypertension is that it resolves over the first year or two of life. Of concern are the various neonatal risk factors for later cardiovascular and kidney disease that are present in most NICU graduates. Prematurity increases the risk of adulthood hypertension while intrauterine growth restriction may even lead to hypertension during childhood. From neonates through to adulthood NICU graduates, this review will cover each of these topics in more detail and highlight the aspects of blood pressure management that are established while also highlighting where knowledge gaps exist.

“…Overweight and obesity in children under 5 years of age, defined respectively as two and three standard deviations above the World Health Organization weight-for-height growth standard median [ 8 ], affected an estimated 38.2 million children in 2019 [ 8 ]. Longitudinal data show that the trajectory of infant weight gain increases the risk of obesity in childhood and adulthood [ 9 , 10 ]. Obesity during childhood increases the risk of chronic disease, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [ 11 ]; children with obesity are over five times more likely to have obesity into adulthood [ 12 ].…”

Overweight, obesity and early childhood caries (ECC) are preventable conditions affecting infants and young children, with increased prevalence in those formula-fed. Previous research has focused on distinct outcomes for oral health and healthy weight gain. However, the aetiology may be linked through overlapping obesogenic and cariogenic feeding behaviours, such as increased sugar exposure through bottle propping and overfeeding. Best-practice bottle feeding and transition to cup use may concurrently reduce overweight, obesity and ECC. This integrative review aimed to identify interventions supporting best-practice formula feeding or bottle cessation and examine the intervention effects on feeding, oral health and weight outcomes. The reviewers searched nine databases and found 27 studies that met the predetermined inclusion criteria. Eighteen studies focused on populations vulnerable to ECC or unhealthy weight gain. All studies focused on carer education; however, only 10 studies utilised behaviour change techniques or theories addressing antecedents to obesogenic or cariogenic behaviours. The outcomes varied: 16 studies reported mixed outcomes, and eight reported worsened post-intervention outcomes. While some studies reported improvements, these were not maintained long-term. Many study designs were at risk of bias. Effective intervention strategies for preventing ECC and child obesity require the holistic use of interdisciplinary approaches, consumer co-design and the use of behavioural change theory.

The positive association of infant weight gain with adulthood body mass index has strengthened over time in the Fels Longitudinal Study

Abstract: The infant weight gain-adulthood BMI association was over two times stronger among a cohort born during the obesity epidemic era compared with cohorts born earlier in the 20th century.
