Association of maternal metabolic risk factors with offspring body mass index (BMI) trajectories in early childhood: a retrospective cohort study
Exposure to maternal prepregnancy overweight, excessive rate of weight gain and GDM resulted in a greater risk of offspring exhibiting an early increase trajectory for BMI. Decreasing maternal metabolic risk before and during pregnancy and monitoring childhood growth trajectories may prevent or delay the onset of childhood obesity.
