“…Twenty-nine pregnant women and their full-term infants were followed in a longitudinal study in Poland. However, the result showed no significant correlation between maternal water intake and infant birth weight [18]. The nutrition required during different trimesters of pregnancy is not invariable, but it is a dynamic process.…”

“…A prospective cohort study on 2039 pregnant women in America showed that, after confounding adjustment, infant birth weight increased with the increase in the maternal TFI level during pregnancy [65]. Infant birth weight correlated with body adipose tissue increases in early pregnancy [18]. Fat-free mass and total body water content have been shown to be associated with birth weight, and total body water gain was positively linked to birth weight from studies conducted in different countries [13,[66][67][68].…”

“…Plasma osmolality decreases during pregnancy, and changes also occur in the osmolality threshold for vasopressin release [17]. This leads to increased activity in sympathetic and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone pathways, which is critical for water homeostasis [18]. A significant increase in the plasma vasopressin enzyme may explain the changes in water homeostasis in the third trimester of pregnancy [16].…”

Background: Water intake and hydration status may potentially influence maternal and child health. However, there is little research regarding this topic. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate pregnant women’s total fluid intake (TFI) levels, hydration status, and body composition and further explore their relationship with infant birth weight. Methods: A 7-day, 24 h fluid intake recorded was applied to determine participants’ TFI levels. Morning urine samples were collected and tested to evaluate their hydration status. Maternal body compositions in their third trimester and infant birth weights were measured. Results: A total of 380 participants completed the study. The TFI was insufficient for pregnant women during their third trimester (median = 1574 mL), with only 12.1% of participants meeting the recommended adequate fluid intake level for pregnant women living in China (1.7 L per day). With the increasing TFI values, the urine osmolality decreased, which showed statistical significance among the four groups (χ2 = 22.637, p < 0.05). The participants displayed a poor hydration status. Meanwhile, the percentage of participants who were in dehydrated status decreased (χ2 = 67.618, p < 0.05), while body water content and basal metabolic rate increased with the increase in TFI levels (χ2 = 20.784, p < 0.05; χ2 = 14.026, p < 0.05). There were positive linear relationships between plain water intake, the basal metabolic rate of pregnant women and their infant birth weight (SE = 0.153, p < 0.05; SE = 0.076, p < 0.05). Conclusions: Water intake was insufficient, and poor hydration status was common among pregnant women in China. There may be potential relationships between plain water intake, basal metabolic rate, and infant birth weight.

“…Fetal growth is significantly correlated to maternal nutrition and uterine environment [2]. Birth weight affects long-term physical and mental development as well as metabolic function [3]. Small for gestational age (SGA) and large for gestational age (LGA) were defined as birth weight <10% or >90% of the average of the sex-specific and gestational age distributions.…”

Background:The effect of maternal vitamin D status on the birth weight of offspring is controversial as the results are inconsistent between different populations. This large 2 retrospective cohort study aimed to assess the relationship between maternal vitamin D levels and birth weight of neonate. Methods: Serum samples were collected from 10,586 Chinese women in the 2 nd trimester of pregnancy, and the 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level of the participants was assessed.Using the INTERGROWTH-21st standards, the offsprings were classified into three groups based on their gestational age and birth weight, which were as follows: small for gestational age (SGA), appropriate for gestational age (AGA), and large for gestational age (LGA). Results:The average maternal vitamin D concentration was 61.1 nmol/L. The 25(OH)D concentrations were <75.0, <50.0, and <25.0 nmol/L in 76.6%, 31.1%, and 1.6% of the participants, respectively. Approximately 6.4%, 86.4%, and 7.2% of women delivered SGA, AGA, and LGA infants, respectively. No significant differences were observed in vitamin D levels between the three groups (P = 0.562). With the increase in 25(OH)D levels, the risk of SGA and LGA tended to increase and decrease, respectively. However, the results were not precise. AGA was not affected by 25(OH)D levels. The results of the curve fitting and threshold effect analyses did not support the correlation between vitamin D levels and SGA orLGA. Based on the univariate prediction model and the model that adjusted for the risk factors, the area under the curve was extremely small. Thus, 25(OH)D level is not an effective predictor of SGA and LGA.Conclusions: Low maternal vitamin D levels were not associated with SGA or LGA.

“…Birth weight is an intuitive reflection of the overall condition of the baby during pregnancy, which can approximately judge the living environment and nutritional status of the baby in utero [7][8][9][10]. Our study focused on the association between birth weight and the risk of CVD, but reckoned without the effect of other prenatal factors on CVD, such as premature birth and intrauterine malnutrition, because of the lack of prenatal factors in UK Biobank.…”

Commentary on Association between Birth Weight and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: Evidence from UK Biobank

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the major causes of death worldwide. The risk of CVD in adulthood is influenced not only by genetic and adult lifestyle factors, but also by early environmental factors. Low birth weight is a marker of intrauterine stress and is associated with susceptibility to CVD. This commentary discussed the role of various causes of birth weight changes, such as preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, and multiple births, in increasing susceptibility to cardiovascular disease in adults. Early identification of individuals at risk of cardiovascular disease is critical for developing effective preventions.
