“…A stimulating home environment such as play activities/materials may help children to catch up in motor development. 50,51 Moreover, children with motor delay have been found to be less physically active and are therefore at higher risk of obesity. 52 This may contribute to the burden of obesity and thereby perpetuate the vicious cycle of maternal obesity in future generations.…”

There is limited evidence on the association between maternal preconception body mass index (BMI) trajectories and pregnancy complications and child development. This study examined the relationships of maternal BMI trajectories, diabetes and hypertensive disorders during pregnancy and offspring's childhood physical and cognitive development. Data were from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health and the Mothers and their Children's Health study (n=771). Women's preconception BMI trajectories were identified using group-based trajectory modelling. Children's physical and cognitive development (up to the average age of 5 years) were obtained from the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (suspected gross motor delay) and the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC). Generalized estimating equation models, adjusted for maternal sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, were used for analyses. Three distinct BMI trajectories were identified (normative, chronically overweight and chronically obese). Children born to chronically obese women were more likely to be classified as developmentally vulnerable/at-risk on AEDC domains; gross and fine motor skills [risk ratio (RR)=1.64, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04, 2.61] and communication skills and general knowledge (RR=1.71, 95% CI: 1.09, 2.68). They also had an elevated risk of suspected gross motor delay (RR=2.62, 95% CI: 1.26, 5.44) compared with children born to women with a normative BMI trajectory. Maternal diabetes or hypertensive disorders during pregnancy were not associated with child outcomes. Maternal preconception BMI trajectories were associated with poorer childhood development. This study finding underscores the importance of excessive weight gain prevention throughout the reproductive stage of life.

A lack of opportunity for skill learning and use is a new exclusion criterion of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM‐5) .…”

diagnosed FASDs. It further reinforces the understanding that harm can occur at any level and timing of alcohol exposure even if that harm cannot be codified with an FASD diagnosis.As with any behavioral research, there are limitations that must be addressed in future replications and extensions. Most notable is the use of a retrospective assessment of alcohol use during pregnancy after a long lag time (7-9y), which could introduce recall bias. Knowing more about the functional status of the children with deficits would have been useful. Finally, the authors may be overreaching to promote the QNST-2 as a diagnostic tool for FASDs at this time (as it describes functional rather than diagnostic issues), but its potential for early identification and referral are clear. Based on findings from this study, poor performance on the QNST-2 should certainly trigger consideration of possible in utero exposure to alcohol. Future prospective studies are strongly encouraged to address this point. Finally, findings from this study (and the Lililwan Project as a whole) underscore and reinforce current recommendations that females who may be pregnant abstain from alcohol to prevent an alcohol-exposed pregnancy, which can lead to lifelong neurological, neurodevelopmental, and functional harm.

“…Hence, children at risk of development delay may benefit from interventions (29) targeted in early childhoodthe period in development where environmental factors have important impact. A stimulating home environment such as play activities/materials may help children to catch up in motor development (50,51). Moreover, children with motor delay have been found to be less physically active and are therefore at higher risk of obesity (52).…”

“…Similarly, in 2015, over one in five Australian children was found to be developmentally vulnerable during school entry on at least one domain (physical health and wellbeing, social competence, emotional maturity, language and cognitive skills and communication skills and general knowledge) of the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC), formerly known as the Australian Early Development Index (AEDI), with about 11% of children developmentally vulnerable on two or more of the AEDC domains (49). However, to the best of our knowledge, the long-term effect of these maternal conditions (maternal pre-pregnancy obesity and its complications such as GDM) on the physical and cognitive development of offspring have not been addressed in an Australian context, although perinatal conditions in general were the leading causes of infant death in Australia between 2008 and 2010 (50).…”

The influence of pre-pregnancy weight and weight changes on pregnancy complications and child growth and development

Background and aims: Pre-pregnancy obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 30 kg/m 2 ) and pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are major and increasing global public health concerns because of a number of consequences to women and their babies. While the associations of pre-pregnancy obesity and GDM and HDP are well established, little is known about the relationship between pre-pregnancy weight change and GDM and HDP risk. Growing evidence also implicates pre-pregnancy obesity and pregnancy complications with offspring childhood growth and development, although the findings are inconclusive, and associations of preconception BMI trajectory and child outcomes have been rarely investigated. This thesis examines the associations between pre-pregnancy weight characteristics, GDM and HDP and offspring childhood growth and development. Methods: Several data sources and analysis approaches were employed across the papers included in the thesis. First, literature searches were performed in CINAHL, EMBASE, PSYCINFO, PUBMED and SCOPUS for systematic reviews on 1) the association of pre-pregnancy obesity and offspring childhood physical and cognitive development, and 2) the association of diabetes during pregnancy and childhood cognitive development. Second, self-reported data from the 1973-78 cohort (aged 18-23 years at the first survey in 1996) of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) were used to examine the associations between adult pre-pregnancy weight change and GDM (n = 5,242) and HDP (n = 4,813) risk. Third, data from the 1973-78 cohort of the ALSWH, Mothers and their Children's Health (MatCH) study and linked data from the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) were used to evaluate the associations of 1)preconception BMI trajectories, GDM and HDP and offspring childhood physical and cognitive development (n = 771), and 2) preconception BMI trajectories and offspring childhood BMI (n = 2,733), and 3) to quantify the mediation role of offspring's birthweight between the association of pre-pregnancy BMI and childhood anthropometrics (BMI-for-age, height-for-age, weight-for-age and weight-for-height) (n = 1,618). In addition to descriptive statistics, multinomial logistic regression, generalised estimating equations, g-computation and latent class growth modelling were used for analyses. Results:A total of 17 articles were eligible for the systematic review on pre-pregnancy obesity and offspring childhood physical and cognitive development. A large proportion of studies supported the adverse association between pre-pregnancy obesity and childhood cognitive development. A few studies also demonstrated a negative association between pre-pregnancy obesity and the gross
