Maternal Prepregnancy Body Mass Index and Gestational Weight Gain on Offspring Overweight in Early Infancy

Abstract: ObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of maternal prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) with anthropometry in the offspring from birth to 12 months old in Tianjin, China.MethodsBetween 2009 and 2011, health care records of 38,539 pregnant women had been collected, and their children had been measured body weight and length at birth, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of age. The independent and joint associations of pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG based on the Instit… Show more

“…1 Insufficient weight gain has been linked with increased risks of low birth weight, small for gestational age, and preterm birth, while excessive gain has been associated with large for gestational age, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, caesarean section, infant mortality, postpartum weight retention, and childhood obesity. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Pregnant women are therefore routinely weighed in clinical settings. The benefits of doing so, however, are debatable in the absence of appropriate guidelines or even agreement on what constitutes adequate weight gain.…”
