The discussion explores current recommendations for gestational weight gain, diet and physical activity, highlighting emerging evidence that weight gain targets may need to be individualized according to the degree of maternal obesity.

The theory has evolved beyond hypothesis status, supported by cohort studies, animal models, and research demonstrating how intrauterine and early-life conditions influence later risk of non-communicable diseases.

Professor West traces the evolution from early clinical observations linking vitamin A deficiency to ocular manifestations and childhood blindness, to the pivotal studies in the 1980s by Alfred Sommer's team demonstrating its association with child mortality. He highlights the landmark Aceh trial (1983–1984), which showed a 34% reduction in preschool child mortality, followed by replication trials and meta-analyses across multiple countries demonstrating 23–30% mortality reduction. These findings supported large-scale implementation of twice-yearly supplementation programs in approximately 85 countries. The discussion also addresses ongoing questions around neonatal supplementation, noting regional differences in observed benefits.

Professor West traces the evolution from early clinical observations linking vitamin A deficiency to ocular manifestations and childhood blindness, to the pivotal studies in the 1980s by Alfred Sommer's team demonstrating its association with child mortality. He highlights the landmark Aceh trial (1983–1984), which showed a 34% reduction in preschool child mortality, followed by replication trials and meta-analyses across multiple countries demonstrating 23–30% mortality reduction. These findings supported large-scale implementation of twice-yearly supplementation programs in approximately 85 countries. The discussion also addresses ongoing questions around neonatal supplementation, noting regional differences in observed benefits. The episode underscores vitamin A supplementation as one of the most impactful global nutrition interventions, contributing to substantial reductions in child mortality worldwide.<br /><br />For Healthcare Professionals Only<br />Nestlé Nutrition Institute<br />]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2036</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/7685bdc69bed93b91fda54b877cd1fdb.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Milestones in Pediatric Nutrition - WHO Growth Standards: How global growth curves transformed assessment and policy - Episode 1</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/milestones-in-pediatric-nutrition-who-growth-standards-how-global-growth-curves-transformed-assessment-and-policy-episode-1--69180433</link><description><![CDATA[In this episode of Milestones in Pediatric Nutrition, Professor Andrew Prentice interviews Dr. Mercedes de Onis, the principal architect of the WHO Child Growth Standards now used in over 150 countries worldwide.

She describes the landmark WHO Multicentre Growth Study, conducted between 1997 and 2003 across six countries, which established prescriptive standards based on optimal growth conditions, including exclusive breastfeeding and supportive environments. Launched in 2006, the WHO Child Growth Standards introduced key metrics including BMI-for-age and velocity standards, supporting both population-level surveillance and individual clinical monitoring.

These strategies, alongside proper weaning and nutritional education, support optimal growth trajectories and long-term health outcomes.<br /><br />For Healthcare Professionals Only<br />Nestlé Nutrition Institute<br />]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1132</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/5dac231bbea48ee2594ffdfbc4532871.jpg"/><itunes:season>3</itunes:season><itunes:episode>15</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>NNIW102- Session 3- Ep. 14 - Breastfeeding and later risk of obesity and NCDs – how strong is the evidence?</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/nniw102-session-3-ep-14-breastfeeding-and-later-risk-of-obesity-and-ncds-how-strong-is-the-evidence--63372644</link><description><![CDATA[Dr. Oraporn Dumrongwongsiri explains how breastfeeding provides optimal infant nutrition and reduces the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes later in life.
