Researchers at Purdue University have confirmed that cesarean section and obesity in a child are interrelated.

Scientists reported that there is a certain pattern between the way a child is born and his body weight. In addition, maternal BMI is of great importance - the higher it is, the higher the likelihood of developing obesity in a child in the first years of life.

Children living away from large cities and not having access to junk food with lots of sugar and fat are less likely to gain weight.. One of the decisive factors in obesity is infant formula and early weaning.. Weaning at the age of 2.5 years allows the child to develop correctly, without overeating.
