Pre-Pregnancy Body Mass Index in Relation to Infant Birth Weight and Offspring Overweight/Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundOverweight/obesity in women of childbearing age is a serious public-health problem. In China, the incidence of maternal overweight/obesity has been increasing. However, there is not a meta-analysis to determine if pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) is related to infant birth weight (BW) and offspring overweight/obesity.MethodsThree electronic bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL) were searched systematically from January 1970 to November 2012. The dichotomous data on pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity and BW or offspring overweight/obesity were extracted. Summary statistics (odds ratios, ORs) were used by Review Manager, version 5.1.7.ResultsAfter screening 665 citations from three electronic databases, we included 45 studies (most of high or medium quality). Compared with normal-weight mothers, pre-pregnancy underweight increased the risk of small for gestational age (SGA) (odds ratios [OR], 1.81; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.76–1.87); low BW (OR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.27–1.71). Pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity increased the risk of being large for gestational age (LGA) (OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.44–1.63; and OR, 2.08; 95% CI; 1.95–2.23), high BW (OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.44–1.63; and OR, 2.00; 95% CI; 1.84–2.18), macrosomia (OR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.42–1.97; and OR, 3.23; 95% CI, 2.39–4.37), and subsequent offspring overweight/obesity (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.77–2.13; and OR, 3.06; 95% CI, 2.68–3.49), respectively. Sensitivity analyses revealed that sample size, study method, quality grade of study, source of pre-pregnancy BMI or BW had a strong impact on the association between pre-pregnancy obesity and LGA. No significant evidence of publication bias was observed.ConclusionsPre-pregnancy underweight increases the risk of SGA and LBW; pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity increases the risk of LGA, HBW, macrosomia, and subsequent offspring overweight/obesity. A potential effect modification by maternal age, ethnicity, gestational weight gain, as well as the role of gestational diseases should be addressed in future studies.

“…Obesity in pregnancy is associated with unfavorable pregnancy outcomes [21], along with increased risk of delivery via cesarean section and higher neonatal intensive care admissions [22,23]. These challenging repercussions, and their associated health costs [24], mandate further research into this global problem.…”

Aim:To investigate the association between obesity and anemia/hemoglobin levels.Material & methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted at Khartoum, Sudan. Obstetric data were collected from 388 pregnant women at mean (standard deviation) of 10.5 (3.1) weeks of gestation using questionnaires. Weight and height were determined, and BMI was calculated.Results:There were 15 (4.4%), 95 (28.1%), 127 (37.6) and 101 (29.9%) women who were underweight, normal weight, (18.5–24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25–29.9 kg/m2) and obese (≥30 kg/m2), respectively. Hemoglobin levels and white blood cell counts were significantly higher in obese than nonobese groups. Compared with normal BMI, overweight and obesity were associated with higher hemoglobin level.Conclusion:Obese women had higher white blood cell count and hemoglobin level.
