Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Risk of Childhood Overweight and Obesity in Offspring: A Systematic Review

Abstract: We systematically reviewed research examining the association between gestational diabetes (GDM) and childhood overweight and obesity. We identified studies from three sources: (1) a PubMed search of articles published between January 1990–January 2011, (2) reference lists of publications from the PubMed search, and (3) reference lists of review articles. We included studies that examined GDM separately from pregestational diabetes and childhood overweight or obesity defined as BMI > 85th or 95th percentile. A… Show more

“…This phenotype is likely due to the direct result of ICP on the fetus, as pregnant women with diabetes and preeclampsia were excluded, and the data were adjusted to correct for the effects of maternal BMI, parity, and gestational age at birth. Thus, we aimed to avoid the confounding effects of disorders known to program metabolic disease in the offspring (34)(35)(36). We also found levels of lipids in umbilical cord serum from ICP cases to be increased at term.…”

“…Macrosomic infants born to diabetic mothers have been found to be more glucose intolerant between the ages of 10-16 years, are more likely to be obese, and are at a greater risk for T2DM (Silverman et al 1998). Because of methodological differences in current studies, the long-term effect of GDM on child outcomes is not fully understood, but studies do suggest that increased rates of obesity, T2DM, and other cardiovascular conditions may result (Kim et al 2011;Simeoni and Barker 2009). …”

“…Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) being firstly recognized during pregnancy is defined as glucose intolerance of variable severity (Kim et al, 2011). About 5% of pregnant females are affected by gestational diabetes mellitus and its frequency is expected to increase as the obesity increases.…”
