Figure 1

The multilevel components of the social-ecological model depicting how macro-, exo-, meso- and micro-systems shape lifestyle behaviors and maternal–child obesity risks. The time dimension depicts the life-course framework for understanding change in environments/exposures across the life-course and the parental–offspring ‘transmission' of obesity risk. Diagram developed for manuscript based on concepts from Pérez-Escamilla and Bermúdez5 and Bronfenbrenner8.
