1. A method of preventing, reducing and or treating obesity, comprising administering to a human subject between 0 and 36 months of age and in need thereof a nutritional composition comprising:
- (i) 10 to 50 wt. % vegetable lipids based on dry weight of the composition, and polar lipids selected from a) 0.3 to 25 wt. % polar lipids based on total lipids, wherein polar lipids are the sum of phospholipids, glycosphingolipids and cholesterol, or b) 0.2 to 20 wt. % phospholipids, based on total lipids, and(ii) lipid globules having(a) a volume-weighted mode diameter above 1.0 μ
m, and/or(b) a diameter of 2 to 12 μ
m in an amount of at least 45 volume % based on total lipid;
wherein the lipid globules are coated with phospholipids.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a nutritional composition for infants and/or toddlers comprising a lipid component which has a large lipid globule size. The composition can be used to prevent obesity and/or improve body composition later in life. Said lipid component comprises 10-50 wt % vegetable lipids, and the lipid globules have a volume-weighted diameter above 1.0 m and/or a diameter of 2-12 m in an amount of at least 45 vol %.
