In the current study we tested the hypothesis that paternal BMI may be associated with fetal growth. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed the...

If so, the maternal effect is likely to be a stronger influencing factor ('fetal overnutrition hypothesis'). We aimed to systematically evaluate the associations of offspring body mass index (BMI, or adiposity) with pre-pregnancy BMI (or adiposity) of the mother and the fa...
