Abstract

Childhood obesity is a global public health problem, and its causes are closely related to exposure to adverse environments in early life. Dietary nutrition during pregnancy can affect the intrauterine environment of the fetus, which has an important influence on the morbidity of obesity and metabolic diseases in the offspring. This review focuses on the existing research evidence on the association of the energy intake, various dietary nutrients intake and the dietary patterns during pregnancy with childhood obesity and metabolic diseases, summarizes the effects of dietary nutrition during pregnancy on the metabolism of offspring, and put forward suggestions on rational dietary intake during pregnancy, so as to provide reference for the prevention and control of obesity and metabolic diseases in early life.

Key words
