Association of Maternal Prepregnancy BMI With Offspring Cardiometabolic Outcomes in Childhood
High maternal prepregnancy BMI was associated with a stepwise increase in offspring BMI in childhood. Preterm children had a higher probability of elevated blood pressure/hypertension than term children. These findings highlight a possible window of opportunity to modify lifestyles and behavior of at-risk children prior to adolescence to positively impact adolescent cardiometabolic health.
