Overweight babies are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease when adults

Overweight babies are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease when adults

According to a new study by the University of Western Australia , overweight female babies are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease and diabetes. With the epidemic of childhood obesity, the onset of type 2 diabetes is becoming more precocious. Previous studies have shown that cardiovascular risk factors in childhood and adulthood are associated with birth weight. The current research investigated associations between birth weight and body fat distribution in childhood with future metabolic risk factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, and high blood pressure. "What happens to a baby in the womb interferes with the development of future heart disease and the risk for diabetes, "the researchers say. "We found that female babies and high birth weight are particularly prone to this risk." In this study, the researchers examined 1,053 individuals for 17 years. Follow-up of the study participants occurred in eight intervals between one and 17 years of age. In addition to birth weight and BMI, the researchers measured blood pressure and insulin levels, blood glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol. Girls with 17 years of age and greater waist circumference, triglycerides and insulin and lower HDL (good cholesterol) were heavier at birth. In contrast, birth weight had no statistical impact on metabolic risk factors in boys.

These findings are significant because, in modern society, there is an increasing incidence of maternal obesity and gestational diabetes, which means that there will also be an increase in the number of newborns that are too large for their age. Public health measures and healthy maternal habits, such as adequate nutrition and exercise, are becoming more and more necessary.

Maintain proper nutrition in pregnancy

One of the most common fears of pregnant women is gaining too much weight during pregnancy and worse still, keep the extra pounds after childbirth. To avoid the problem, the orthopedist. Ricardo Cury, from the Brazilian Society of Orthopedics, and nutritionist Mariana Del Bosco Rodrigues, from Abeso (Brazilian Association for the Study of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome), advise women who do not want to gain weight during pregnancy. "It's important to be deterred from thinking that you have to eat for two," says Mariana. Rising from nine to 12 pounds is normal. Gaining too much weight can be bad for both the mother and the baby.

And nothing to stop the gym. "Just adapt the exercises to your new condition," says Cury. He explains that the pregnant can even do bodybuilding, for example, as long as it preserves the body from major impacts. Choose light exercises, not to lose tone, and much stretching to maintain balance, which will be affected with the new weight on the belly, favoring spine problems.

How Psychologists Educate Their Children

Daily chats Although caring for transparency in the family, psychologist Carol Braga finds it difficult to show annoyance close to their children. "I do not want to convey bad feelings to them, but at the same time I think this should be considered normal, and even an incentive for the child to understand that it is permissible to be sad," she says.
