Project Overview
Dear Colleagues,
The Mediterranean Nutrition (MeNu) Group are initiating a Project Collection on the pediatric obesity prevention in the first 1000 days of life. We have invited Prof. Dr. María M. Morales Suárez-Varela to serve as the Guest Editor of this Collection. The venue is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes articles and communications in the interdisciplinary area of environmental health sciences and public health.
The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has increased in the majority of countries in the last decades. Thinking in a simplistic way, we can consider obesity to be the result of an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. In addition, the environment from conception to childhood may influence the child’s future health. The first 1000 days of life starts with a woman’s pregnancy and offers a unique window of opportunity to contribute to obesity prevention.
This Project Collection is only open to the submissions from MeNu Group members.
