Abstract EN
This study investigated the effects of maternal changes during pregnancy in diet, exercise, and psychosocial factors on offspring weight parameters at birth and 6 months.
In overweight/obese (OW/OB; n=132) mothers, greater % kcal from sweets early in pregnancy was the strongest, independent predictor of higher weight for age (WFA) (beta =0.19; P=0.004), higher odds of macrosomia (OR = 1.1 (1.0–1.2); P=0.004) andWFA >90th percentile at birth (OR = 1.2 (1.1–1.3); P=0.002) and higher WFA at 6 months (beta =0.30; P=0.002).
In normal weight (n=153) mothers, higher intake of soft drinks was the strongest predictor of higher offspring WFA at birth (beta = 0.16; P=0.04) but not at 6 months.
Prenatal physical activity, depressive symptoms, and sleep-related variables did not significantly predict offspring weight outcomes.
Mothers’ eating behaviors during pregnancy, especially intake of sweets in OW/OB mothers, may have a lasting effect on child weight.
