Infant feeding practices and body mass index up to 7.5 years in the French nationwide ELFE study
ConclusionBreastfeeding was related with a lower BMI in infancy but not thereafter, whereas an early CF initiation (<4 months) was associated with a higher BMI in childhood. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

FirstStep2Health: A cluster randomised trial to promote healthy behaviours and prevent obesity amongst low ‐income preschoolers
ConclusionsEven with some potential limitations (small sample size, measurement concerns and confounding with Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic), the study's results support the preliminary efficacy of the FirstStep2Health intervention in preventing obesity amongst low-income racially diverse preschoolers.

The role of mesenchymal stem cells in early programming of adipose tissue in the offspring of women with obesity
In conclusion, maternal obesity can induce early programming of fetal adipose tissue by conditioning MSCs. These cells have higher expression of adipogenic markers, altered insulin signalling and mitochondrial performance, compared to MSCs of neonates from lean pregnancies. Fetal MSCs imprinting by maternal obesity could help explain the increased risk of childhood obesity and development of further noncommunicable diseases. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Cumulative environmental stress and emerging cardiometabolic risk during childhood
ConclusionsThe influence of cumulative stress on cardiometabolic health can be observed in middle childhood and may contribute to cardiometabolic health disparities, highlighting the importance of public health interventions to mitigate disadvantage. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Identifying elevated child weight from 3 to 24 months: Early transitions into nonparental care and to solid foods
ConclusionsNPC-ITS combinations on child WFL/WFHz across the first 2 years of life highlight the need for a partnership approach among parental and nonparental caregivers to support the feeding of infants throughout the transition to solid foods. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Food insecurity is a risk factor for metabolic dysfunction ‐associated steatotic liver disease in Latinx children
ConclusionsExposure to household food insecurity at 4 years of age was associated with increased risk for MASLD later in childhood. Further studies are needed to explore mechanism(s) and impact of reducing food insecurity on risk for MASLD. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)
