The first chapter introduces a life course model used throughout this dissertation study. This is followed by a review in chapter 2 of risk factors that are associated with the development of type 2 diabetes during childhood. This chapter ascertains the fact that risk factors for shaping one's health are present throughout one's life course and that early life adverse environment may play an important role setting up one's health trajectory. In the subsequent two chapters, the association between maternal prepregnancy obesity and the offspring's cognitive and behavioral outcomes are examined using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth.
