How does obesity specifically affect infants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad future.: Obese infants would be expected to have poor health in later life. For example, the "fatty streak", the first manifestation of an arterial blockage, could be present at birth, and obesity can act upon that to cause heart disease at a very early age.
