    Study Notes

    Consequences of Maternal Overnutrition During Pregnancy

    • Maternal overnutrition during pregnancy can lead to excessive gestational weight gain.
    • Excessive gestational weight gain due to maternal overnutrition has been linked to an increased risk of obesity in offspring.
    • Offspring of overnourished mothers in utero are more likely to develop metabolic disorders later in life.
    • A potential long-term consequence of maternal overnutrition during pregnancy is the development of metabolic disorders in offspring.
    • Maternal overnutrition can have a lasting impact on the fetus, potentially leading to metabolic disorders and obesity in the offspring.
