In recent years, population aging and negative population growth are occurring globally, leading to a series of economic and social problems including a shrinking labor force, slow economic growth, increasing public finance spending and medical burden. Therefore, ensuring healthy early childhood development and improving population quality are fundamental conditions for building a new pattern of population development in China. Since the 1970s, it has gradually become a consensus in the medical field to pay attention to the intrauterine health of the fetus. As an emerging interdisciplinary discipline, intrauterine pediatrics focuses on prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of developmental origin, and realizes the concept of health management from the fertilized egg to the whole life cycle of children and adolescents, emphasizing the whole process and consistency of health management in early life.
