Currently, one of the scientific concepts is that maternal, fetal, and infant nutrition may have implications for infant size and growth and for the risk of
developing chronic diseases later in life, in addition to genetic, environmental, and
behavioral factors. As a consequence, the interest of scientists and policy makers is
now focused on characterizing the optimal dietary patterns and patterns of prenatal
and postnatal size/growth. This paper briefly reviews: (1) evidence on the infant
size/growth and early nutrition on disease in adulthood, (2) methodological issues
associated with current scientific approaches that evaluate the impact of early nutrition/growth on later outcomes, (3) recent regulations and guidelines developed by
various expert groups or scientific organizations, and (4) ways to solve some unresolved issues.
