Abstract

The global obesity epidemic continues to be one of the major health burdens on society, which directly affects our younger generation. Worldwide, more than 40 million children under the age of five were overweight with a global prevalence of
overweight being 6.7% in 2010 [1].The rates of overweight and obesity have been dramatically increasing in some developing countries such as China [2] over recent years. This highlights the need for a better understanding of the effect of early life
factors on overweight and obesity and, more importantly, developing effective early interventions
