Abstract :
Overweight and obesity in children and
adolescents and its negative effects on health, including
increased risks of long-term diseases like type II DM,
CVD, dyslipidemia, , stroke, hypertension, respiratory
issues, gallbladder disease, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis,
along with certain malignancies, which are already
identified during the perinatal and prenatal period is one
of the most important worldwide health concerns of the
twenty-first century. To overcome the current epidemic
of overweight and obesity, obstructing their risk factors
is important in an effort to prevent the development of
obesity and overweight. Multiple epidemiological
research studies have shown a connection between BMI
acquired later in life and birth weight; however, the
results are constrained by the absence of information on
gestational age. Majority of studies reported relation of
childhood obesity with the preterm born children in
study of relation with the gestational age. Although more
likely to become obese in later adulthood, preterm and
low birth weight born child are small and/or lean at
birth, whereas post-term usually not and above all,
children born postterm showed signs of a rapid weight
gain that led to obesity decades early. Thus, the purpose
of this review study is to determine the impact of the
gestational age at delivery and to provide an overview of
the evidence supporting the link between childhood
obesity and post-term birth.. Thorough systemic review
conducted on online database Pubmed, Google Scholar
and found only few studies on association with the post-
term born children. Limited evidence necessitated the
studying of additional adult post-term cohorts to
accurately determine future risks to health and to
investigate these potential metabolic alterations, as well
as if the alterations in adiposity continue or get worse
throughout adulthood, and how these correlations vary
in adult born post-term in terms of pattern and
amplitude.
