title: The Effects of Maternal Obesity on Neonates, Infants, Children, Adolescents, and Adults.
abstract: With the increasing prevalence of obesity, including among women of childbearing age, there is increasing concern regarding the short-term and long-term effects on the offspring of women who are overweight and obese. In this paper we report the results of our review of the recent literature suggesting important adverse short-term and long-term consequences of maternal obesity on their children.
