“…We observed that children born by Caesarean section tended to be obese, although this result did not reach statistical significance. Past studies have found that Caesarean section delivery increases the risk of obesity (Goldani et al ., 2011; Mueller et al ., 2015; Portela et al ., 2015) and impacts the infant gut microbiota (Grönlund et al ., 1999). In our study, delivery mode and infant feeding history (breast‐fed vs. formula‐fed) were not significantly associated with obesity or the gut microbiota composition of children (mean age = 11).…”

“…After controlling for sex, birth weight, activity, income, smoking and maternal factors (schooling and smoking during the pregnancy), it was revealed that those born by caesarean section had a 58% increased risk of obesity compared with vaginally born infants, thus highlighting the long-term effects of a factor that impacts on the infant's gut microbiota. 72 This topic has also been the focus of a recent review.…”

“…A recent birth cohort supports these gut microbiota findings of a long-term consequence on health due to delivery mode. 72 The study examined the association between caesarean delivery and the subsequent risk of being obese at age 23-25 years. After controlling for sex, birth weight, activity, income, smoking and maternal factors (schooling and smoking during the pregnancy), it was revealed that those born by caesarean section had a 58% increased risk of obesity compared with vaginally born infants, thus highlighting the long-term effects of a factor that impacts on the infant's gut microbiota.…”

“…4 Mode of delivery is a potential risk factor for childhood obesity. [5][6][7][8] Several studies demonstrate that cesarean section (CS) may increase risk of childhood obesity/overweight; [5][6][7][8][9] however, results have been inconsistent across different study groups. [10][11][12][13] In a recent meta-analysis a moderatesized association was found between CS and childhood overweight/obesity (at aged 3-8 years) with an overall pooled odds ratio (OR) of 1.32 (95% CI OR 1.15, 1.51).…”

“…5,6,14,17,18 Work in animal models and in humans has demonstrated that the gut microbiome influences body size. [19][20][21][22] In Race, C-section and Childhood Obesity -Cassidy et al adults, racial differences exist in the gut microbiome.…”
