Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between gestational weight gain (GWG) and total adiposity, body fat distribution, blood pressure (BP), and metabolic profile in offspring. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: Body mass index (BMI), waist, subscapular and tricipital skinfolds, and BP were measured and blood samples drawn in 12 775 children (aged 2-9 years) from the IDEFICS cohort. Overweight/obesity was defined by IOTF criteria. Parents filled in a questionnaire investigating child and familiar medical history and lifestyle. A section was dedicated to pregnancy history (including GWG). RESULTS: Anthropometric indices linearly and significantly increased across GWG tertiles (BMI z-score: tertile I = 0.08, 0.03-0.13; tertile II = 0.16, 0.12-0.21;tertile III = 0.34, 0.28-0.40, P International Journal of Obesity (2013) 37, 914-919; doi: 10.1038/ijo.2013.35; published online 9 April 2013 Keywords: gestational weight gain; perinatal factors; childhood obesity; offspring BMI; offspring metabolic profile; offspring blood pressure
