3.3 Maternal obesity with deficiency of multiple micronutrients
Obese expectant mothers may be deficient in nutrients, as their diets tend to be unbalanced,
with a low micronutrient content. This may have long-‐term effects on the health of the mother
and trigger a risk for NCDs in the child. Excess maternal body weight during pregnancy and
lactation requires an intake of more micronutrients to counteract the changes, including
inflammation and oxidative stress, caused by obesity.
