Maternal Prepregnancy Body Mass Index and Gestational Weight Gain on Pregnancy Outcomes

Abstract: ObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the single and joint associations of maternal prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) with pregnancy outcomes in Tianjin, China.MethodsBetween June 2009 and May 2011, health care records of 33,973 pregnant women were collected and their children were measured for birth weight and birth length. The independent and joint associations of prepregnancy BMI and GWG based on the Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines with the risks of … Show more

“…Finally, we did not examine the long-term outcomes of either the pregnant women or infants in this study. Nan et al [27] reported that excessive weight gain in overweight and obese pregnant women is strongly associated with increases in the weight and height of offspring in early infancy. Moreover, because GWG is directly associated with the risk of substantial postpartum weight retention and childhood obesity [3,23,25], there is a concern that pregnant women and their infants may develop lifestyle-related diseases in the future.…”

“…We considered ten main outcomes of interest, which are already known to be influenced by GWG [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]: small for gestational age (SGA), large for gestational age (LGA), low birth weight (LBW) (<2,500 g), macrosomia (≥4,000 g), gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, caesarean delivery, operative virginal delivery, umbilical artery pH <7.0, and an Apgar Score at 5 min <7. SGA and LGA neonates were defined as birth weights below the 10th percentile and above 90th percentile, respectively, after matching for gestational age and sex.…”

“…The war taking five years increases the child deaths under age of 5 by 13%. Also 47% of all the refugees in the world and 50% of asylum seekers and displaced people are women and girls and 44% refugees and asylum seekers are children under the age of 18 (5). As the result of wars and armed conflicts, women are…”

“…In recent years, the body mass index (BMI) of women of reproductive age has risen in developed countries (1). Higher maternal BMI at the start of pregnancy or before pregnancy has been reported to increase physical and intellectual problems in neonates (e.g.…”

“…Overweight and obese women are at increased risk of gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, instrumental delivery and caesarean section and their children are at higher risk of macrosomia, birth defects, low Apgar scores and neonatal complications (1,3,4). Obese women have been reported to have longer labour due to insufficient contractions during the first stage of labour, therefore, the induction and augmentation rate is higher in this group.…”
