“…Second, maternal diabetes diagnosis is also available for pediatric clinicians and has been shown in some studies to predict higher child zBMI levels and obesity. 15-17,38 Third, LGA, 17,26,29 also documented in the clinical record, affected z BMI score in the current study. LGA, however, was a stronger predictor of obesity when combined with maternal obesity and diabetes.…”

“…Previously reported potential predictors for childhood obesity included maternal prepregnancy BMI >30 kg/m 2,10 maternal delivery BMI >30 kg/m 2,4,35 excessive gestational weight gain (>18 kg), 11-13 maternal smoking, 24,25 maternal diabetes, 15-17,38 maternal non-Caucasian ethnicity, 22,23 antenatal or perinatal antibiotics, 20,21 cesarean delivery, 18,19 LGA at birth, 17,26,29 and male sex. 22,23,27,28 We also categorized shorter duration of BF as an obesity predictor and defined this as either no BF or any duration of BF less than 6 months for this practical clinical endpoint.…”

Children obese at the age of 5 years are at greater risk of lifelong obesity. Because certain risks of obesity can be identified in early infancy, a tool for obesity risk prediction in early life would be clinically useful. We investigated predictors of obesity risk in a novel, prospectively collected healthy birth cohort recruited for demographic risks to develop iron deficiency at 1 year, a cohort leveraged because risk factors for iron deficiency and obesity overlap. Obesity at the age of 5 years was defined as age- and sex-specific body mass index Z-score ( zBMI) >2SD. For each child, obesity risk factors were summed. Of 10 total risk factors, the following 4 key risks were identified: maternal obesity, maternal diabetes, large for gestational age, or breastfeeding <6 months. Childhood obesity was predicted by either ≥3 total number of risks ( P < .033), any key risk ( P < .002), or summing key risks ( P < .0001). In clinical practice, summing early life risk factors may be a useful strategy for preemptive counseling.

“…Since no universal agreement exists for defining newborn obesity (Ogden et al, 2012), children’s BMI at birth is not recommended for clinical use (Division of Nutrition, 2015). However, a recent study assessed the association between newborn BMI >85% and weight-for-age >85% with the overweight risk at 4 years of age, and found that birth BMI was more likely to be associated with children being overweight at 4 years of age and maternal pre-pregnancy obesity (Winter et al, 2016). This finding suggested that both children’s birth weight and birth BMI may offer strong predictive power for childhood overweight or obesity.…”

“…Fetal macrosomia or large birth weight is a well-studied scientific and practice clinical subject (2,3,4). It is well known that children with fetal macrosomia have high risk of obesity, high blood pressure, a high blood sugar level, and, as a consequence, the appearance of diabetes mellitus and cardiac diseases later in life (5,6).…”

A B ST R AC T We examined the histological features of the mucobuccal fold of oral cavity mucous membrane from the area of the masticatory teeth roots' projection in 6-month-old Wistar Albino Glaxo rats with fetal macrosomia. The animals were divided into groups according to the body weight, the body length, and the Quetelet index at birth. A morphological study was performed using the Leica SP8 AOBS laser scanning confocal microscope and a conventional light (Axiostar, Zeiss) microscopy. Morphometric parameters were used to estimate the degree of acanthosis development in the epithelium of the oral mucosa, which indicates the intensity of its proliferation. Numerous narrow and deep acanthotic outgrowths and densely located 'juvenile' epitheliocytes in the basal layer on the apex of the acanthotic protrusions were found in animals with fetal macrosomia that was due to intrauterine obesity. In these animals, the morphometric index, which we used, was maximally different from that in the control group. In animals with fetal macrosomia that was due to intrauterine growth acceleration of the body, the hyperproliferation of the mucous membrane epithelium of the oral cavity was absent or little pronounced. It can be assumed that fetal macrocosmia with obesity causes instability in the epithelium of the oral cavity mucosa, its rapid death, and therefore, a more active stimulation of proliferation.
