Importance While prenatal nutrition and maternal obesity are recognized as important
contributors to epigenetic changes and childhood obesity, the role of paternal obesity in the …

Background Accumulating evidence links paternal adiposity in the periconceptional period
to offspring health outcomes. DNA methylation has been proposed as a mediating …

Pre-pregnancy maternal obesity is associated with adverse offspring outcomes at birth and
later in life. Individual studies have shown that epigenetic modifications such as DNA …

Maternal obesity is associated with a variety of common diseases in the offspring. One
possible underlying mechanism could be maternal obesity induced alterations in DNA …

Maternal obesity is an important risk factor for childhood obesity and influences the
prevalence of metabolic diseases in offspring. As childhood obesity is influenced by …

Pre-pregnancy obesity is an established risk factor for adverse sex-specific cardiometabolic
health in offspring. Epigenetic alterations, such as in DNA methylation (DNAm), are a …

Background: Evidence suggests that in utero exposure to undernutrition and overnutrition
might affect adiposity in later life. Epigenetic modification is suggested as a plausible …

Background DNA methylation has been shown to be associated with adiposity in adulthood.
However, whether similar DNA methylation patterns are associated with childhood and …

Background Both higher and lower fetal growth are associated with cardio-metabolic health
later in life, suggesting that prenatal developmental programming determines long-term …

Birthweight is associated with health outcomes across the life course, DNA methylation may
be an underlying mechanism. In this meta-analysis of epigenome-wide association studies …
