Maternal Obesity, Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Offspring's Body Mass Index Trajectories From Birth to Age 6 Years: Glucose in Relation to Women and Babies' Health ( GrownB ) Study
The aim is to investigate how maternal obesity influences offspring's body mass index (BMI) from birth until age 6.
Longitudinal design tracking offspring BMI from birth to age 6
Assessment of maternal pre-pregnancy weight status
Comparison of BMI trajectories between offspring of obese mothers and those with gestational diabetes
Offspring of mothers with pre-pregnancy obesity exhibited higher BMI trajectories
No significant association was found between gestational diabetes and offspring BMI trajectories
Abstract
Maternal pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity was associated with higher offspring BMI trajectories from birth to age of 6 years, while the association was not observed for GDM.
