Health problems such as hypertension, tendency to diabetes, obesity, blood lipids, vascular disease, bone health, behaviour and learning and longevity may be ‘imprinted’ during early life. This process is defined as ‘programming’ whereby a nutritional stimulus operating at a critical, sensitive period of pre and postnatal life imprints permanent effects on the structure, physiology and metabolism.

For this reason, academics and industry set-up the EC supported Scientific Workshop -Early Nutrition and its Later Consequences: New Opportunities. The prime objective of the Workshop was to generate a sound exchange of the latest scientific developments within the field of early nutrition to look for opportunities for new preventive health concepts. Further, a closer look was taken at the development of food applications which could provide (future) mothers and infants with improved nutrition that will ultimately lead to better future health. The Workshop was organised by the Dept. of Pediatrics, University of Munich, Germany in collaboration with the Danone Institutes and the Infant Nutrition Cluster, a collaboration of three large research projects funded by the EU.

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally and presents a major challenge to policy makers and clinicians alike. Recent research has suggested that obesity has its origins in early life and that early diet can programme a developing fetus’ and young infant’s future susceptibility to obesity.  This volume contains recent findings presented at the International Conference on Early Nutrition Programming and Health Outcomes in Later Life: Obesity and Beyond - a satellite meeting of the 15th European Congress on Obesity, held in Budapest in April 2007. Basic scientific research, data from epidemiological studies and clinical trial results were all presented during the programme.

This volume includes articles discussing the evidence for an effect of early nutrition programming on later obesity and cardiovascular risk; the growing evidence for an intergenerational cycle of obesity; the role of maternal leptin in programming appetite; possible cellular mechanisms for altered energy balance, including mitochondrial programming and the effects of regulators of metabolism; and how epigenetic changes might be the fundamental underlying mechanism explaining programming effects. Consumer understanding of the concept of early nutrition programming and the extent to which early nutrition programming is taken into account in infant feeding policies are also discussed.

Koletzko - Pädiatrie: alles was ein Lehrbuch braucht!

Die ganze Pädiatrie in leicht erfassbaren Lehrtexten. Hier findet man Faktenwissen, wo ausreichend und tiefergehende Informationen, wo für das Verständnis notwendig .

Die harmonische Gestaltung in Layout und Didaktik bietet alles, was ein modernes Lehrbuch bieten sollte: kurze Einführungen für den ersten Überblick, wichtige Fakten in Merksätzen, Fallbeispiele für erste Eindrücke aus der Klinik, Kernaussagen nach jedem Unterkapitel und natürlich viele spannende farbige Abbildungen für das visuelle Lernen.

Neu in der 13. Auflage: das integrierte Fallquiz für den problemorientierten Lernzugang. Die 24 authentischen, reich bebilderte Fälle live aus dem Alltag eines Pädiaters bieten mit vielen cleveren Fragen zu typischen Krankheitsbildern und ausführlichen Lösungstexten die ideale Ergänzung zum klassischen Lehrbuch für POL-Seminare und auch zur Vorbereitung der mündlichen Prüfung.

Mit dem Koletzko macht die Pädiatrie erst richtig Spaß!
