“…It could be argued that if the outcome would be more clinically based, such as long-term consequences of macrosomia, then growth velocity rather than size would have better performance. Indeed, in infants it has consistently been shown that growth velocity in early infancy is more predicting of subsequent obesity than any crosssectional measurement [33].…”

Background: Prenatal detection of excessive growth remains inaccurate. Most strategies rely on a single cross-sectional evaluation of fetal size during the third trimester. Objectives: To compare second- to third-trimester longitudinal growth assessment with cross-sectional evaluation at the third trimester in the prediction of largeness for gestational age (LGA) and macrosomia. Methods: A cohort of 2,696 unselected singleton pregnancies scanned at 21 ± 2 and 32 ± 2 weeks was created. Abdominal circumference (AC) measurements were transformed to z values according to the INTERGROWTH-21st standards. Longitudinal growth assessment was performed by calculation of z velocity and conditional growth. Both methods were compared to cross-sectional assessment at 32 ± 2 weeks. Predictive performance for LGA and macrosomia was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Result: A total of 188 (7%) newborns qualified for LGA and 182 (6.8%) for macrosomia. The areas under the curve (AUCs) for 32-week AC z score, AC z velocity, and conditional AC were 0.78, 0.61, and 0.55, respectively, for the prediction of LGA, and 0.75, 0.61, and 0.55, respectively, for the prediction of macrosomia. Both AUCs of AC z velocity and conditional AC were significantly lower (p < 0.001) than the AUC of cross-sectional AC z scores. Conclusions: In the general population, second- to third-trimester longitudinal assessment of fetal growth is inferior to third-trimester cross-sectional evaluation of size in the prediction of LGA and macrosomia.

“…These results are of special relevance considering the reported Early protein intake, weight gain and body fat J Escribano et al association of weight gain during the first 2 years of life with later overweight or obesity risk (at 7 --9 years), 32 suggesting that rapid weight gain early in life is a key determinant factor for childhood obesity. 33 FM at 6 months predicted later BMI at 12 and 24 months in this study.…”

for the European Childhood Obesity Trial Study Group 4 INTRODUCTION: Higher protein intake during the first year of life is associated with increased weight gain velocity and body mass index (BMI). However, the relationship of protein intake and weight gain velocity with body composition is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To assess if the increases in weight gain velocity and BMI induced by protein intake early in life are related to an increase in fat or fat-free mass. MATERIALS AND METHODS:In all, 41 infants randomized at birth to a higher or lower protein content formula (HP ¼ 17 and LP ¼ 24, respectively) and 25 breastfed infants were included. Anthropometric measures were assessed at baseline, 6, 12 and 24 months, and fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) were assessed by isotope dilution at 6 months. RESULTS: Weight gain velocity (g per month) during the first 6 months of life was significantly higher among HP infants (807.8 ( ± 93.8) vs 724.2 ( ± 110.0) (P ¼ 0.015)). Weight gain velocity strongly correlated with FM z-score (r ¼ 0.564, Po0.001) but showed no association with FFM z-scores. FFM showed no association with BMI. Nevertheless, FM strongly correlated with BMI at 6, 12 and 24 months (r ¼ 0.475, Po0.001; r ¼ 0.332, P ¼ 0.007 and r ¼ 0.247, P ¼ 0.051, respectively). FFM and FM z-scores did not differ significantly between HP and LP infants (0.32 ± 1.75 vs À0.31 ± 1.17 and 0.54 ± 2.81 vs À0.02 ± 1.65, respectively). CONCLUSION: Our findings support the hypothesis that higher protein intakes early in life are associated with faster weight gain and in turn to higher adiposity. This mechanism could be a determinant factor for later obesity risk.

“…In a recent study, BMI and body weight attained at 1 y of life were shown to have predictive power for the development and persistence of overweight during childhood (40). Furthermore, cellular studies on human body fat suggested that it expands rapidly during the first year of life predominantly by increasing the adipocyte size that subsequently decreases for 1 or 2 y and remains stable for several years (41,42).…”
