“…Our data demonstrated that high BW girls had two times higher odds of being OW/OB, while boys had 1.65 times higher odds of being classified as OW/OB, which is consistent with other studies showing a positive association between BW and further prevalence of obesity in both children a adolescents (Curhan et al, 1996, Dubois and Girard, 2006, Wei et al, 2007.…”

Background/Objectives:The aims of this study were as follows: (1) to analyze differences in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), parents' body mass index (BMI) and birth weight (BW) between non-overweight (NOW) and overweight/obese (OV/OB) adolescents, and (2) to investigate the association of those variables with the risk of their biological offspring being OV/OB. Subjects/Methods:This study comprised 788 adolescents (477 girls and 311 boys), aged between 12 and 18 years. CRF was predicted by maximal multistage 20-m shuttle-run test according to the procedures described in FITNESSGRAM. Children's BMI was classified according to the International Obesity Task Force. Adolescents' BW was assessed from each child's pediatric record at birth. Parents' OV/OB status was defined and classified according to the World Health Organization. Socioeconomic status was defined by parental education. Results:The prevalence OV/OB was 21.4 and 5.3%, respectively, and there were no gender differences. The OV/OB adolescents (girls and boys) had significantly (P≤0.05) lower CRF scores and higher BW (P≤0.05) than did the NOW pears. Conclusions:Results from this study highlight the association between the family adolescents' obesity, in girls. Furthermore, our data suggested that low CRF and high BW were strong predictors of OV/OB in adolescence.

“…Mother's body size and offspring birth weight were shown to be associated with ASP in both boys and girls. Birth weight was an independent contributing factor in predicting ASP and a high birth weight has been proposed as an independent risk factor for obesity (33,34). An early association between ASP and obesity can be inferred from two previous studies.…”

Objective: Childhood obesity is increasing worldwide and is increasingly associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Our aim was to examine acylation stimulating protein (ASP) and its precursor complement C3, in normal, overweight, and obese Chinese children and adolescents, and the relationships with body size, blood parameters, pubertal development, family environment, and MetS. Methods: Children and adolescents (nZ1603) from 6 to 18 years, boys (nZ873) and girls (nZ730), including normal weight (nZ603), overweight (nZ291) and obese (nZ709) were assessed for body size parameters, pubertal development, blood lipids, glucose, insulin, ASP, and C3. Results: ASP levels were increased in overweight and obese versus normal weight (P!0.001), while C3 showed little variation. This effect of overweight/obesity remained throughout early stages when boys and girls were separated by pubertal development or age, although age and pubertal status itself had no effect. Separation based on ASP quintiles demonstrated significant associations with blood cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-Chol), glucose, insulin, and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance in boys, and LDL-Chol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and glucose in girls. A positive correlation with mother's body mass index in boys and girls (PZ0.002 and PZ0.014 respectively) as well as birth weight (P!0.001) was noted. MetS was strongly associated with increased ASP, the presence of a single MetS factor (especially hypertension, central obesity, or hyperglycemia) was associated with increased ASP. Conclusion: Changes in the plasma adipokine ASP in early obesity are associated with blood lipid and glucose modifications, family environment, and distinct MetS risk factors.

“…After delivery, 15–50% of women with GDM develop type 2 diabetes later in life1. In addition, children and adolescents with higher birthweight are associated with increased risk of obesity and diabetes, based on reports from our group and others5, 6. Therefore, GDM is sometimes called ‘a disease of two generations.’…”

Aims/IntroductionThe International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG) criteria for gestational diabetes are associated with increased prevalence. However, it remains unknown if intervention for more women with gestational diabetes mellitus by the IADPSG criteria results in better pregnancy outcomes than adopting the Carpenter and Coustan (C&C) criteria in Asian populations.Materials and MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 1,840 women, 952 subjects by the IADPSG criteria and 888 subjects by the C&C criteria, who delivered singletons in 2011 in a single tertiary center, were included in the study. The same therapeutic interventions were offered to women with gestational diabetes mellitus by the two criteria. Maternal and neonatal outcomes were evaluated.ResultsAdopting the IADPSG criteria increased the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus diagnosis to 13.44%, compared with 2.59% by the C&C criteria. The diagnosis was made 3 weeks earlier by the IADPSG criteria (27 vs 30.5 weeks, P < 0.0001). Adopting the IADPSG criteria was associated with reduced risk of primary cesarean section (adjusted odds ratio 0.79, 95% confidence interval 0.63–0.998, P < 0.05) and having any one of the adverse fetal outcomes (adjusted odds ratio 0.79, 95% confidence interval 0.64–0.998, P < 0.05), including birthweight >90th percentile, jaundice, admission to neonatal intensive care unit, birth trauma, neonatal hypoglycemia and fetal death.ConclusionsAdopting the IADPSG criteria is associated with improved pregnancy outcomes, at the expense of increased prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus diagnosis.
