Fetal growth pattern is regulated sex-specific dependent on maternal BMI
Aims In previous studies we could show that male neonates with a Body Mass Index (BMI) <10P have a double risk to develop obesity during the first 6 years of life compared to females. As the main factor of influence for developing obesity we could identify the maternal BMI for both male and female infants. This leads to the hypothesis that maternal overweight has a sex specific influence on the...
متن کاملMaternal prepregnancy BMI and child cognition: a longitudinal cohort study.
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between maternal prepregnancy BMI and cognitive performance in children at 5 and 7 years of age. METHODS This is a secondary analysis of data from the Millennium Cohort Study, a prospective population based cohort of 19,517 children in the United Kingdom. Standardized cognitive assessments of children, involving components of the British Ability Scales, se...
متن کاملBMI tracking in Mexican American children in relation to maternal BMI.
OBJECTIVE To assess body mass index (BMI [kg/m2]) tracking over a four-year period in 4- to 8-year-old Mexican American (MA) children and to explore associations between mother and child's BMI. DESIGN A longitudinal study design was used to assess 138 subjects (69 MA children and 69 MA mothers). Children were classified as normal weight if age- and sex-specific BMI was < 85th percentile and o...
متن کاملParental pre‐pregnancy BMI is a dominant early‐life risk factor influencing BMI of offspring in adulthood.
OBJECTIVE We examined parental and early-life variables in order to identify risk factors for adulthood overweight and obesity in offspring. We report here on the longitudinal prevalence of overweight and obesity in Australian children born between 1989 and 1991 and followed from birth to age 22. METHODS Data were analysed on 1355 participants from the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Rai...
متن کاملComparison of BMI and the body mass/body surface ratio: is BMI a biased tool?
For decades we are used to judge our body composition by using the body mass index (BMI). Since the BMI denominator can be considered as a substitute for body surface area (BSA), the body mass/body surface ratio (BM/BSA) can be calculated. For a distribution of BM/BSA values comparable to the distribution of normal BMI values, the range 35.5-39.9 kg/m2 is chosen as normal, although it covers BM...
