Prepregnancy body mass index and visceral fat exhibit divergent associations with metabolic factors in pregnant women with obesity: A Norwegian cohort study
Among pregnant women with BMI ≥35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, easily obtainable pBMI and the more resource-demanding estimate of visceral fat18 exhibit divergent associations with metabolic measures; pBMI was positively associated with insulin, glucose, and HbA1c, while visceral fat18 was positively associated with leptin. We did not find visceral fat18 to be associated with greater number of metabolic factors than pBMI.
