Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity rates are rising, and the gestational weight gain (GWG) of most women does not comply with current guidelines. This study assesses the association of pre-pregnancy BMI (ppBMI) and GWG with the child's weight development and investigates whether associations with GWG differ depending on ppBMI. METHODS Data were obtained from the cohort study LIFE Child (Germany), comprising 691 mother-child pairs. Children's weight was followed until age five. Associations between maternal ppBMI, GWG, and children's weight were evaluated using regression analyses. RESULTS The association between GWG and birth weight (BW) was significantly positive in normal and underweight (n/u) women (βGWG = 0.05, p < 0.01, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.03-0.07), but not in women with overweight or obesity (o/o) (βGWG = 0.0002, p = 0.99, 95% CI -0.03 to 0.03). The risk of giving birth to an infant who was large for gestational age (LGA) increased with rising GWG in n/u women (OR = 1.6, p < 0.01, 95% CI 1.23-2.25). Women with o/o were at increased risk for a LGA baby regardless of GWG (OR = 3, p < 0.01, 95% CI 1.34-6.97). This trend persisted in the child's weight development during the first 5 years of life. CONCLUSION Women with o/o might increase their offspring's risk for higher weight at birth and in early childhood. In n/u women, GWG might be the more influential factor. Women should strive for normal weight before conception and should be more attentive to GWG.

Abstract
CONTEXT Gestational weight gain (GWG) is known to be a risk factor for offspring obesity, a precursor of cardiometabolic diseases. Accumulating studies have investigated the association of GWG with offspring cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs), leading to inconsistent results. OBJECTIVE This study synthesized available data from cohort studies to examine the effects of GWG on offspring CRFs. DATA SOURCE Four electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase, were searched through May 2023. DATA EXTRACTION Cohort studies evaluating the association between GWG and CRFs (fat mass [FM], body fat percentage [BF%], waist circumference [WC], systolic blood pressure [SBP] and diastolic blood pressure, high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C] and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride [TG], total cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, and fasting insulin levels) were included. Regression coefficients, means or mean differences with 95% confidence intervals [CIs], or standard deviations were extracted. DATA ANALYSIS Thirty-three cohort studies were included in the meta-analysis. Higher GWG (per increase of 1 kg) was associated with greater offspring FM (0.041 kg; 95% CI, 0.016 to 0.067), BF% (0.145%; 95% CI, 0.116 to 0.174), WC (0.154 cm; 95% CI, 0.036 to 0.272), SBP (0.040 mmHg; 95% CI, 0.010 to 0.070), and TG (0.004 mmol/L; 95% CI, 0.001 to 0.007), and with lower HDL-C (-0.002 mmol/L; 95% CI, -0.004 to 0.000). Consistently, excessive GWG was associated with higher offspring FM, BF%, WC, and insulin, and inadequate GWG was associated with lower BF%, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and TG, compared with adequate GWG. Most associations went non-significant or attenuated with adjustment for offspring body mass index or FM. CONCLUSIONS Higher maternal GWG is associated with increased offspring adiposity, SBP, TG, and insulin and decreased HDL-C in offspring, warranting a need to control GWG and to screen for cardiometabolic abnormalities of offspring born to mothers with excessive GWG.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Interpregnancy weight change may impact two important adverse perinatal outcomes: stillbirth and infant mortality. This systematic review aims to synthesise the existing evidence on the association between interpregnancy weight change and stillbirth and infant mortality. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Protocols guidelines and has been registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). A comprehensive literature search of four online databases (Embase, Cochrane Libraries, Web of Science and Medline) will be conducted from inception to October 2023. Observational (longitudinal, cohort, case-control) and randomised controlled trials will be included. Interpregnancy weight/body mass index change between two consecutive pregnancies will be the exposure. The primary outcomes will be the incidence of stillbirth and infant mortality in subsequent pregnancy. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool will be used to assess the risk of bias in the randomised controlled studies and the Risk of Bias in Non-Randomised Studies of Interventions tool will be used for observational studies. If there are sufficient data, a meta-analysis will be conducted to estimate the pooled effect size. Otherwise, qualitative descriptions of individual studies will be summarised. The heterogeneity will be statistically assessed using a χ2 test and I2 statistic. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval is not required for this study as all results will be based on published papers. No primary data collection will be needed. Study findings will be presented at scientific conferences or published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER A registration for this review has been submitted to PROSPERO under CRD42020222977.

Ke JF, Liu S, Ge RL, Ma L, Li MF. Associations of maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain with the risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes in Chinese women with gestational diabetes mellitus. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2023; 23:414. [PMID: 37270485 PMCID: PMC10239605 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-023-05657-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2022] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Give the high background risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs), it is important to understand the associations of maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (ppBMI), gestational weight gain (GWG) with APOs in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We addressed the independent and joint associations of maternal ppBMI and GWG with APOs in Chinese women with GDM. METHODS 764 GDM women with singleton delivery were studied and they were stratified into three weight groups by ppBMI (underweight, normal weight and overweight/obesity) following classification standards for Chinese adults and three GWG groups (inadequate, adequate, excessive GWG) by the 2009 Institute of Medicine guidelines, respectively. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate the odds ratios of APOs. RESULTS Maternal overweight/obesity was associated with increased odds of pregnancy-induced hypertension [PIH, adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.828, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.382-5.787], cesarean delivery (CS) (aOR 2.466, 95%CI 1.694-3.590), preterm delivery (aOR 2.466, 95%CI 1.233-4.854), LGA (aOR 1.664, 95%CI 1.120-2.472), macrosomia (aOR 2.682, 95%CI 1.511-4.760) and any pregnancy complication (aOR 2.766, 95%CI 1.840-4.158) compared with healthy weight. Inadequate GWG was less likely to develop PIH (aOR 0.215, 95%CI 0.055-0.835), CS (aOR 0.612, 95%CI 0.421-0.889) and any pregnancy complication (aOR 0.628, 95%CI 0.435-0.907), but had higher risk of preterm birth (aOR 2.261, 95%CI 1.089-4.692), while excessive GWG was more vulnerable to LGA (aOR 1.929, 95%CI 1.272-2.923), macrosomia (aOR 2.753, 95%CI 1.519-4.989) and any pregnancy complication (aOR 1.548, 95%CI 1.006-2.382) as compared to adequate GWG. Furthermore, compared to normal weight mothers with adequate GWG, obese mothers with excessive GWG had the highest risk of any pregnancy complication (aOR 3.064, 95%CI 1.636-5.739). CONCLUSIONS Maternal overweight/obesity and GWG were associated with APOs in the already high-risk settings of GDM. Obese mothers with excessive GWG may confer the greatest risk of adverse outcomes. It was very helpful to reduce the burden of APOs and benefit GDM women by promoting a healthy pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG.

Effect of Lifestyle Interventions during Pregnancy on Maternal Leptin, Resistin and Offspring Weight at Birth and One Year of Life. Biomedicines 2023; 11:biomedicines11020447. [PMID: 36830983 PMCID: PMC9953512 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11020447] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Lifestyle during pregnancy impacts the health of the mother and child. However, the extent to which physical activity affects maternal biomarkers and factors that might influence birth weight remains unclear. We analysed data from two lifestyle interventions in which the effects of an exercise programme (2x/week, 60-90 min) on the course of pregnancy with regard to adipokines and offspring were evaluated. A total of 70 women participated in this study (45, intervention group; 25, control group). Anthropometric data and maternal fasting serum leptin and resistin levels were measured at three time points (approximately 14th (T1), 24th (T2), and 36th (T3) weeks of gestation). Neonatal/child data were retrieved from screening examinations. Independent of the intervention, we found a positive correlation between the fat mass at T1 and both leptin and resistin levels at all time points. Leptin level was significantly higher in the control group at T3; however, no differences between the groups were found for resistin. The birth weight was influenced by the birth length, fat mass at T1/T3, and resistin level at T2. The BMI-SDS at one year of age was influenced by maternal fat-free mass at T3 and resistin at T1/T2. Even if these results can only be interpreted cautiously, lifestyle interventions during pregnancy are important in promoting maternal and child health. Further randomised controlled trials and translational studies are warranted to clarify the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
AIMS As recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), health practitioners should encourage a healthy nutrition and adequate weight gain during pregnancy in order to ensure favorable pregnancy and fetal outcomes, and to prevent diseases later in life for both mother and child. The purpose of this online survey was to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice of the 2009 IOM recommendations among healthcare professionals managing nutritional therapy in pregnancies complicated by diabetes in Italy. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted by using an online self-administered questionnaire undertaken between October and December 2021. RESULTS Of the 220 participants 89% were diabetologists/endocrinologists/internal medicine specialists and 11% dietitians/nutritionists. The survey found that the 53% of respondents provide a personalized diet to pregnant women with diabetes, while 32% a standard diet plan and only 15% healthy dietary advice. The 69% of the participants investigated for appropriate gestational weight gain, mainly based on pre-pregnancy BMI (96%), gestational weight gain (GWG) at first prenatal visit (80%) and presence of twin pregnancy (58%). Maternal weight gain was evaluated at each regularly scheduled prenatal visit and compared with IOM recommendations for the 87% of healthcare professionals. Diet plan was periodically re-evaluated and/or modified (90% of participants), based on inadequate maternal weight gain and/or fetal growth abnormalities (78%), trimester transition (53%), changes in physical activity and/or a "feel hungry" (50%). CONCLUSIONS This survey reported the knowledge and attitude of IOM guidelines and the nutritional knowledge and practice of Italian professionals on the nutritional management of diabetes in pregnancy. The application of these recommendations seemed more feasible in clinics/team dedicated to "Diabetes in Pregnancy".

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Ziel
Die Ernährung in den ersten 1000 Tagen stellt einen relevanten Einflussfaktor für eine gesunde (Gewichts)entwicklung von Kindern dar. Verhältnispräventive, kommunalbasierte Ansätze scheinen am Erfolg versprechendsten in der Bekämpfung von (kindlichem) Übergewicht bzw. nicht übertragbaren Erkrankungen zu sein. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, Strategien zum Gelingen der Ernährungsgesundheit in den ersten 1000 Tagen herauszuarbeiten.
Methodik
Auf Basis einer internetbasierten Recherche möglicher kommunalbasierter Praxisprojekte wurden standardisierte, leitfadengestützte Interviews mit Expertinnen und Experten aus Wissenschaft und Praxis durchgeführt. Der Fokus lag auf der allgemeinen Einschätzung der Versorgungslage bzw. einem möglichen Handlungs- und Versorgungsbedarf sowie konkreten Handlungsempfehlungen unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Schwangeren bzw. jungen Familien in belasteten Lebenslagen. 14 von 40 im Schneeballverfahren ausgewählten Personen nahmen teil.
Ergebnisse
Alle Teilnehmenden schätzen die aktuelle primärpräventive Versorgung als nicht ausreichend ein. Als kritisch wurden von ihnen v. a. die fehlenden strukturellen und politischen Rahmenbedingen, insbesondere die häufig bestehenden zeitlich begrenzten Programme, gesehen. Dadurch seien Maßnahmen zur Förderung der Ernährungsgesundheit oder vergleichbare Interventionen nicht erfolgreich zu etablieren. Gefordert wurde daher eine deutlichere Unterstützung durch politische und andere relevante Stakeholder, z. B. Krankenversicherungen und Vernetzung mit bzw. Einbettung dieses Themenfeldes in den öffentlichen Gesundheitsdienst.
Schlussfolgerung
Unsere Ergebnisse bestätigen aus Sicht von Expertinnen und Experten, dass die Förderung der Ernährungsgesundheit in den ersten 1000 Tagen sinnvoll und wichtig ist. Allerdings ist ein deutlicher Optimierungsbedarf hinsichtlich der Versorgungsstrukturen und der konkreten nachhaltigen Umsetzung von primärpräventiven Angeboten sowie niederschwelligen Zugängen für belastete Schwangere und Familien erkennbar.

Analytical Comparison of Risk Prediction Models for the Onset of Macrosomia Based on Three Statistical Methods. DISEASE MARKERS 2022; 2022:9073043. [PMID: 36124028 PMCID: PMC9482546 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9073043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2022] [Revised: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Background and Purpose. Fetal overgrowth can pose a serious threat to the safety of a mother and child. Early identification of high-risk pregnant women and timely pregnancy intervention and guidance are of great value in preventing the development of giant babies and improving adverse maternal and infant outcomes. The current clinical methods for predicting macrosomia mainly rely on obstetric examination and imaging, but their accuracy is controversial. And there is no accepted method for accurately predicting macrosomia. We investigated the risk factors influencing the occurrence of macrosomia and established a prediction model for the occurrence of macrosomia to provide a reference basis for interventions to prevent macrosomia. Method. A retrospective selection of 93 women who were hospitalized in our hospital from March 2019 to May 2022 with a singleton pregnancy and delivered at term with macrosomia were the study group. And 356 women who delivered a normal size baby during the same period were the control group. The variables that were associated with the onset of macrosomia were screened from maternal medical records. Logistic regression models, random forest, and CART decision tree models were developed using the screened variables as input variables and whether they were macrosomia as outcome variables, respectively. The performance of the three models was evaluated by accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Result. The risk prediction models for the onset of macrosomia, logistic regression model, random forest model, and decision tree, were successfully developed, with accuracies of 0.904, 1.000, and 0.901 in the training set and 0.926, 0.582, and 0.852 in the validation set, respectively. The AUC in the training set were 0.898, 1.000, and 0.789, and in the validation set were 0.906, 0.913, and 0.731, respectively. In general, the logistic regression model has the highest diagnostic efficiency, followed by the random forest model. Conclusion. Logistic regression models have high application value in the assessment of predicting the risk of macrosomia, and it is suggested that the advantages of logistic regression models and random forest models should be combined in future studies and applications to make them work better in the prediction of the risk of macrosomia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational weight gain has been associated with some adverse perinatal outcomes, but few studies have examined the association between gestational weight gain and offspring's cognition and their conclusions are inconsistent. Our systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize the evidence regarding the association between gestational weight gain and offspring's cognitive skills. METHODS In this systematic review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO number, CRD42017073266), we systematically searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library for studies examining association between gestational weight gain and offspring's cognitive skills, without restriction in study design or language. Two reviewers extracted in an independent way the data. The Quality of Reporting of Observational Longitudinal Research scale was used to assess the quality of included studies. Effect size (ES) for adjusted models and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals were calculated for (i) intelligence quotient, (ii) language related skills and (iii) mathematic related skills comparing offspring's cognitive skills when gestational weight gain was within recommendations (as reference) with those from mothers whose gestational weight gain was above or below the recommendations. RESULTS Thirteen studies were included. There was a positive trend that associated gestational weight gain above recommendations with better offspring's intelligence quotient, although not statistically significant (ES 0.02, 95% CI -0.00, 0.05; I2 = 0.00%). CONCLUSIONS There is a not significant positive association between gestational weight gain above recommendations and intelligence quotient and some studies reported associations between gestational weight gain and offspring's cognitive skills. Our analyses confirm a wide variability in the results of studies published so far and highlights the need for conducting studies including specific samples of pregnant women by pre-pregnancy body mass index and trimester of pregnancy.

Monitoring gestational weight gain and prepregnancy BMI using the 2009 IOM guidelines in the global population: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2020; 20:649. [PMID: 33109112 PMCID: PMC7590483 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-020-03335-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2019] [Accepted: 10/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported a high prevalence of excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) in women with prepregnancy BMI classified as overweight and obese. However, the joint evidence regarding GWG and prepregnancy BMI in the worldwide population has not been synthesized. Thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate global and regional mean GWG and the prevalence of GWG above, within and below 2009 Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines. Second, we aimed to estimate global and regional prepregnancy BMI and the prevalence of BMI categories according to World Health Organization (WHO) classification. METHODS We searched Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science to identify observational studies until 9 May 2018. We included studies published from 2009 that used 2009 IOM guidelines, reporting data from women in general population with singleton pregnancies. The 2009 IOM categories for GWG and the WHO categories for prepregnancy BMI were used. DerSimonian and Laird random effects methods were used to estimate the pooled and their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) of the mean and by category rates of GWG and prepregnancy BMI, calculated by global and regions. RESULTS Sixty-three published studies from 29 countries with a total sample size of 1,416,915 women were included. The global prevalence of GWG above and below the 2009 IOM guidelines, was 27.8% (95% CI; 26.5, 29.1) and 39.4% (95% CI; 37.1, 41.7), respectively. Furthermore, meta-regression analyses showed that the mean GWG and the prevalence of GWG above guidelines have increased. The global prevalence of overweight and obesity, was 23.0% (95% CI; 22.3, 23.7) and 16.3% (95% CI; 15.4, 17.4), respectively. The highest mean GWG and prepregnancy BMI were in North America and the lowest were in Asia. CONCLUSIONS Considering the high prevalence of GWG above the 2009 IOM guidelines and women with overweight/obesity and their continuously increasing trend in most regions, clinicians should recommend lifestyle interventions to improve women's weight during reproductive age. Due to regional variability, these interventions should be adapted to each cultural context. TRIAL REGISTRATION Prospectively registered with PROSPERO ( CRD42018093562 ).

A lifestyle intervention during pregnancy to reduce obesity in early childhood: the study protocol of ADEBAR - a randomized controlled trial. BMC Sports Sci Med Rehabil 2020; 12:55.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of obesity in childhood is increasing worldwide and may be affected by genetic factors and the lifestyle (exercise, nutrition behavior) of expectant parents. Lifestyle factors affect adipokines, namely leptin, resistin, and adiponectin as well as cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), which are involved in the regulation of maternal metabolic homeostasis, glucose metabolism, and the development of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, gestational diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. However, studies focusing on the effect of exercise or a combination of parental exercise and nutrition on the above-mentioned markers in newborns (venous cord blood) and especially on the long-term development of infants' weight gain are lacking. The study will investigate the effects of a multimodal intervention (regular exercise, diet) on parental and childhood adipocytokines (leptin, resistin, adiponectin, TNF-α, IL-6, BDNF). The effect of a lifestyle-related change in "fetal environmental conditions" on the long-term weight development of the child up to the age of two will also be assessed. METHODS/DESIGN A randomized multi-center controlled trial will be conducted in Germany, comparing supervised aerobic and resistance training 2x/week (13th to 36th weeks of gestation) and nutritional counseling (6th to 36th weeks of gestation) during pregnancy with usual care. Thirty women (pre-pregnancy Body Mass Index ≥25 kg/m2, 6th-10th week of gestation) will be included in each group. Maternal anthropometric and physical measurements as well as blood sampling will occur at the 6th-10th, 13th-14th, 21st-24th, and 36th week of gestation, at delivery as well as 8 weeks and 24 months postpartum. Neonatal measurements and umbilical blood sampling will be performed at birth. Maternal and infants' weight development will be assessed every 6 months till 24 months postpartum. A difference in childhood BMI of 1 kg/m2 at the age of two years between both groups will be assumed. A power size of 80% using a significance level of 0.05 and an effect size of 1.0 is presumed. DISCUSSION A better understanding of how lifestyle-related changes in the fetal environment might influence infants' outcome after two years of life could have a profound impact on the prevention and development of infants' obesity. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial is registered at the German Clinical Trial Register (DRKS00007702); Registered on 10th of August 2016; retrospectively registered https://www.drks.de/drks_web/navigate.do?navigationId=trial.HTML&TRIAL_ID=DRKS00007702.

Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd 2020; 80:508-517. [PMID: 32435067 PMCID: PMC7234825 DOI: 10.1055/a-1110-0859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2019] [Revised: 01/26/2020] [Accepted: 01/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction
Maternal obesity and excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) affect the outcomes of women and their offspring. Our aim was to evaluate population-based data from Germany.
Material and Methods
Data from 583 633/791 514 mother-child pairs obtained from the perinatal database in Hesse for the period from 2000 to 2015 were used after excluding incomplete or non-plausible datasets. Early-stage pregnancy maternal body mass index (BMI) and GWG were evaluated. Significant outcome changes were calculated using linear or logistic regression models.
Results
The mean maternal age increased from 29.9 to 31.28 years; GWG increased from 445.1 to 457.2 g/week (p < 0.01). Similarly, rates for both overweight and obesity rose from 31.5 to 37.5% (p < 0.001). Cesarean section rates rose from 22.8 to 33.2% (p < 0.001) and rates of postpartum hemorrhage increased from 0.6 to 1% (p < 0.001). There was no significant change in the rates for stillbirth or perinatal mortality (p = 0.92 and p = 0.53 respectively), but there was an increase in the rates of admissions to neonatal intensive care units from 7.8 to 9.5% (p < 0.0001). The percentage of newborns with an Apgar score of < 7 at 5 minutes increased from 1 to 1.1% (p < 0.01) and the rate of neonates with an umbilical artery pH of < 7.1 rose from 1.7 to 2.4% (p < 0.01).
Conclusions
In just 15 years, pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG rates of women with singleton pregnancies have increased, and this increase has been accompanied by a significant rise in the rate of cesarean sections and a significant worsening of short-term maternal and neonatal outcomes. It is time to discuss the risks and the short-term and more worrying long-term consequences for mothers and their offspring and the future impact on our healthcare system.

Effects of a lifestyle intervention in routine care on prenatal physical activity - findings from the cluster-randomised GeliS trial. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2019; 19:414. [PMID: 31711430 PMCID: PMC6849250 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-019-2553-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2019] [Accepted: 10/02/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy and obstetric complications. The “healthy living in pregnancy” (GeliS) study was performed in a routine care setting with the aim of limiting excessive GWG. The purpose of this secondary analysis is to evaluate the effect of the intervention on physical activity (PA) behaviour and to assess the impact of PA intensities on GWG. Methods The cluster-randomised, multicentre GeliS trial was performed in a routine care setting alongside scheduled prenatal visits. Pregnant women with a pre-pregnancy BMI between 18.5 and 40.0 kg/m2 were either assigned to the control group receiving usual care or to the intervention group. Participants in the intervention group attended three antenatal counselling sessions on diet and PA and one additional postpartum session. Data on PA behaviour were collected twice, before the end of the 12th (baseline) and after the 29th week of gestation using the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire. Results PA data were available for 1061 (93%) participants in the intervention and 1040 (93%) in the control group. Women in the intervention group reported significant improvements in the levels of total PA (p < 0.001), total PA of light intensity and above (p < 0.001), moderate-intensity (p = 0.024) and vigorous-intensity activities (p = 0.002) as well as sport activities (p < 0.001) in late pregnancy compared to the control group. The proportion of women meeting the international PA recommendations in late pregnancy was significantly higher in the intervention (64%) versus the control group (49%, p < 0.001). Activities of light-intensity and above (p = 0.006), light-intensity (p = 0.002) and vigorous-intensity (p = 0.014) in late pregnancy were inversely associated with total GWG. Conclusion We found significant evidence of improvements in the PA pattern of pregnant women receiving lifestyle counselling within the framework of routine care. Most PA intensities were inversely associated with total GWG which indicates that PA across different intensities should be promoted. Trial registration NCT01958307, ClinicalTrials.gov, retrospectively registered 9 October, 2013.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to establish the role of MC4Rrs17782313 and ENPP1rs1044498 gene polymorphisms on pre-pregnancy BMI and the newborn’s status. We performed a cross-sectional study on 185 mothers and their offspring. The groups were divided into: control group- underweight or normal mothers with BMIinitial < 25 kg/m2 (n1 = 134) and study group-overweight/obese mothers with BMIinitial ≥ 25 kg/m2 (n2 = 51). All subjects underwent demographic, anthropometric, paraclinical, bioimpedance and genetic parameters. We found association between initial BMI and gestational weight gain (GWG), and a higher frequency of excessive GWG in overweight/obese women (p = 0.037). Higher values of anthropometric and bioimpedance parameters were observed in overweight/obese versus underweight/normal women. The MC4R rs17782313 and ENPP1 rs1044498 variant genotypes had an increased risk of pre-pregnancy overweight (OR = 1.41; 95% CI:[0.72; 2.78]; OR = 1.34; 95% CI:[0.65; 2.75]). The newborns from mothers with excessive GWG had a higher birth weight (BW) (p = 0.001). Higher MUAC values were noticed in newborns with MC4R rs17782313 wild-type genotype. Also, BW was correlated with GWG status smoking in pregnancy, gestational age and neonatal ENPP1rs1044498 variant genotype (p = 0.026). Our study pointed out the role of MC4R rs17782313 and ENPP1 rs1044498 genotypes in obesity determinisms in mothers and their newborns in correlation with BMI, MUAC, TST and bioimpedance parameters.

Abstract
The gestational weight gain is determined by food habits, environmental and genetic factors.The aims of this paper were to establish relationships between maternal gene polymorphisms (patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 rs738409 [PNPLA3 rs738409], glucokinase regulatory protein rs780094 [GCKR rs780094], and guanine nucleotide-binding protein rs5443 [GNB3 rs5443]) and mothers' gestational weight gain, but also neonatal outcomes (birth weight, length, and ponderal index [PI]).We performed a cross-sectional study in a sample of 158 mothers and their product of conception' in an Obstetrics-Gynecology Clinic from Romania. We divided the pregnant women according to the Institute of Medicine recommendations into 3 subgroups: (1) insufficient gestational weight gain; (2) normal gestational weight gain; and (3) excessive gestational weight gain.The gestational weight gain among pregnant women included in this study was classified as insufficient (10.1%), normal (31%), and excessive (58.9%). We found a tendency towards statistical significance for mothers that were overweight or obese before pregnancy to present an excessive gestational weight gain as compared to the normal weight ones. Similarly, we identified a tendency for statistical significance regarding the association between the variant genotype of GNB3 rs5443 and excessive gestational weight gain. We noticed differences that tended to be statistical significant concerning aspartate aminotransferase values between the 3 subgroups, mothers with excessive gestational weight gain having higher values than mothers with normal gestational weight gain (median, IQR: 22.89[17.53; 31.59] for mothers with excessive gestational weight gain versus 22.71[18.58; 27.37] for mothers with normal gestational weight gain). In mothers with excessive gestational weight gain, we found a significant association between the variant genotype of PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism and neonatal PI noticing a decrease of this index in case of newborns from mothers carrying the variant genotype.Excessive gestational weight gain was noticed in pregnant women that were obese and overweight before pregnancy. We found a positive association between the variant genotype of GNB3 rs5443 polymorphism and excessive gestational weight gain. Similarly, the presence of variant genotype of PNPLA3 rs738409 in mothers was associated with a lower PI in their newborns. Our study pointed out the most important factors that influence gestational weight gain and related birth outcomes.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of selected pregnancy pathologies statistically depending on overweight/obesity and excessive maternal weight gain during pregnancy on women who gave birth in the years 2013-2015 at the Second Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the University Hospital in Bratislava, Slovakia. In a retrospective study, we analyzed data gathered from the sample, which consisted of 7122 women. Our results suggest a statistically significant, higher risk for the groups of women with overweight and obesity and gestational hypertension (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 15.3; 95% CI 9.0-25.8 for obesity), preeclampsia (AOR = 3.4; 95% CI 1.9-6.0 for overweight and AOR = 13.2; 95% CI 7.7-22.5 for obesity), and gestational diabetes mellitus (AOR = 1.9; 95% CI 1.2-2.9 for overweight and AOR = 2.4; 95% CI 1.4-4.0 for obesity). A higher incidence of pregnancies terminated by cesarean section was observed in the group of obese women. Gestational weight gain above IOM (Institute of Medicine) recommendations was associated with a higher risk of pregnancy terminated by C-section (AOR = 1.2; 95% CI 1.0-1.3), gestational hypertension (AOR = 1.7; 95% CI 1.0-2.7), and infant macrosomia (AOR = 1.7; 95% CI 1.3-2.1). Overweight and obesity during pregnancy significantly contribute to the development of pregnancy pathologies and increased incidence of cesarean section. Systematic efforts to reduce weight before pregnancy through prepregnancy dietary counseling, regular physical activity, and healthy lifestyle should be the primary goal.

Interpregnancy weight change and perinatal outcomes: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis. Medicine (Baltimore) 2019; 98:e15470. [PMID: 31096442 PMCID: PMC6531238 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000015470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2019] [Accepted: 04/08/2019] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Growing evidence suggests that interpregnancy weight change (IPWC) is a risk factor for perinatal outcomes, since it may increase the probability of gestational complications including gestational diabetes or cesarean delivery. Additionally, IPWC may affect neonatal outcomes increasing the prevalence of newborns small for gestational age or preterm birth. However, the association between IPWC and perinatal outcomes has not systematically synthesized thus far. This study protocol aims to provide a clear, transparent and standardized procedure for systematically reviewing the association between IPWC and perinatal outcomes. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This systematic review and meta-analyses protocol is based on the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols and the Cochrane Collaboration Handbook. MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science will be systematically searched from their inception. No limits will be defined by study design, as such different tools to assess risk of bias will be used:Odd ratios and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals will be reported to evaluate associations between IPWC and perinatal outcomes. RESULTS The results of this study will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analysis will systematically synthesize the evidence regarding the association between IPWC and perinatal outcomes. Data will be extracted from published articles and findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals. Ethical approval and informed consent will not be required due to the nature of the study. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42018100449.

Effects of a lifestyle intervention during pregnancy to prevent excessive gestational weight gain in routine care - the cluster-randomised GeliS trial. BMC Med 2019; 17:5. [PMID: 30636636 PMCID: PMC6330753 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-018-1235-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 51] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2018] [Accepted: 12/10/2018] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) leads to obstetric complications, maternal postpartum weight retention and an increased risk of offspring obesity. The GeliS study examines the effect of a lifestyle intervention during pregnancy on the proportion of women with excessive GWG and pregnancy and obstetric complications, as well as the long-term risk of maternal and infant obesity. METHODS The GeliS study is a cluster-randomised multicentre controlled trial including 2286 women with a pre-pregnancy BMI between 18.5 and 40.0 kg/m2 recruited from gynaecological and midwifery practices prior to the end of the 12th week of gestation in five Bavarian regions. In the intervention regions, four lifestyle counselling sessions covering a balanced healthy diet, regular physical activity and self-monitoring of weight gain were performed by trained healthcare providers alongside routine pre- and postnatal practice visits. In the control regions, leaflets with general recommendations for a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy were provided. RESULTS The intervention did not result in a significant reduction of women showing excessive GWG (adjusted OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.66-1.38, p = 0.789), with 45.1% and 45.7% of women in the intervention and control groups, respectively, gaining weight above the Institute of Medicine recommendations. Gestational diabetes mellitus was diagnosed in 10.8% and 11.1% of women in the intervention and control groups, respectively (p = 0.622). Mean birth weight and length were slightly lower in the intervention group (3313 ± 536 g vs. 3363 ± 498 g, p = 0.020; 51.1 ± 2.7 cm vs. 51.6 ± 2.5 cm, p = 0.001). CONCLUSION In the setting of routine prenatal care, lifestyle advice given by trained healthcare providers was not successful in limiting GWG and pregnancy complications. Nevertheless, the potential long-term effects of the intervention remain to be assessed. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT01958307 , ClinicalTrials.gov, retrospectively registered October 9, 2013.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the direct effects of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP9 rs17577, MMP9 rs17576) and alfa 2 adrenergic receptor (ADRA2A rs553668) gene polymorphisms investigated in mothers and their newborns on maternal weight gain (MWG) during pregnancy and the newborn's birth weight (BW), taking into account the presence of other related factors. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study in 197 mother-newborn pairs in an Obstetrics Gynecology Clinic, in order to evaluate the demographic and anthropometric parameters, and gene polymorphism. RESULTS BW was positively correlated with maternal age (p = 0.021) and the educational level (p = 0.002), and negatively correlated with smoking status in pregnant women (p < 0.001). The MMP9 rs17577 variant genotypes in mothers led to a lower BW (p = 0.049). The mothers with a variant genotype of ADRA2A rs553668 gene polymorphism had newborns with a higher BW (p = 0.030). MWG and gestational age (GesAge) influenced BW (p < 0.05). We noticed that newborns' variant genotype of MMP9 rs17577 was related to a significant increase in BW (p = 0.010), while the newborns who carried the variant genotype of MMP9 rs17576 expressed a negative correlation, decreasing the BW (p = 0.032). CONCLUSION Our study emphasizes the role of MMP9 rs17577, MMP9 rs17576, and ADRA2A rs553668 SNPs in BW determinism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND International data indicate that approximately only 20.0% of pregnant women reach physical activity recommendations (≥150 min/wk). To find ways for increasing physical activity, the reasons for exercising, motivational factors, and barriers need to be determined. The aim of this pilot study was to identify these factors in respect to body mass index classification in German pregnant women. METHODS A total of 61 women [age: 32.7 (4.8) y; 13.3 (3.4) wk of gestation] participated in this study. Before pregnancy, 10.0% of women were underweight, 58.3% were normal weight, 18.3% were overweight, and 13.4% were obese. Standardized questionnaires were used to evaluate the abovementioned factors. RESULTS "Fun" was one of the main reasons for being active in underweight/normal weight compared with overweight/obese women (53.7% vs 10.5%; P = .002), whereas "burning fat" was more important in overweight/obese women (9.8% vs 36.8%; P = .027). According to motivational factors, differences occurred in "calorie burning" (7.3% underweight/normal weight vs 31.6% overweight/obese; P = .025) and "fat burning" (7.3% underweight/normal weight vs 47.4% overweight/obese; P = .001). Regarding barriers for being active, "tiredness" was more often a barrier in overweight/obese (63.2%) compared with normal weight/underweight women (31.7%; P = .022). CONCLUSION Pregnant women should be given tailored advice/motivation according to prepregnancy body mass index. However, larger studies are necessary to evaluate these factors on pregnant women's physical activity level.

Abstract
The present study had 2 objectives, first, to investigate possible relationships between increased gestational weight gain and demographic, clinical, paraclinical, genetic, and bioimpedance (BIA) characteristics of Romanian mothers, and second, to identify the influence of predictors (maternal and newborns characteristics) on our outcome birth weight (BW).We performed a cross-sectional study on 309 mothers and 309 newborns from Romania, divided into 2 groups: Group I-141 mothers with high gestational weight gain (GWG) and Group II-168 mothers with normal GWG, that is, control group.The groups were evaluated regarding demographic, anthropometric (body mass index [BMI], middle upper arm circumference, tricipital skinfold thickness, weight, height [H]), clinical, paraclinical, genetic (interleukin 6 [IL-6]: IL-6 -174G>C and IL-6 -572C>G gene polymorphisms), and BIA parameters.We noticed that fat mass (FM), muscle mass (MM), bone mass (BM), total body water (TBW), basal metabolism rate (BMR) and metabolic age (P < 0.001), anthropometric parameters (middle upper arm circumference, tricipital skinfold thickness; P < 0.001/P = 0.001) and hypertension (odds ratio = 4.65, 95% confidence interval: 1.27-17.03) were higher in mothers with high GWG. BW was positively correlated with mothers' FM (P < 0.001), TBW (P = 0.001), BMR (P = 0.02), while smoking was negatively correlated with BW (P = 0.04). Variant genotype (GG+GC) of the IL-6 -572C>G polymorphism was higher in the control group (P = 0.042).We observed that high GWG may be an important predictor factor for the afterward BW, being positively correlated with FM, TBW, BMR, metabolic age of the mothers, and negatively with the mother's smoking status. Variant genotype (GG+GC) of the IL-6 -572C>G gene polymorphism is a protector factor against obesity in mothers. All the variables considered explained 14.50% of the outcome variance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of macrosomia has risen markedly worldwide, including in China, during the past two decades. Few epidemiological studies, however, have investigated the risk factors for macrosomia in China. This study was designed to investigate the associations between parental anthropometric characteristics, gestational weight gain (GWG), and risk of macrosomia in China. METHODS This population-based, case-control study in Wuhan, China, included a total of 6341 subjects (870 cases and 5471 controls). Multivariable logistic regression was conducted to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS Mothers or fathers who were overweight or obese before pregnancy had an elevated risk of giving birth to a macrosomic infant compared with their normal weight counterparts. Women with GWG above the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendation had an adjusted OR of 6.09 [95% CI 5.04, 7.35] for delivering a macrosomic infant compared with women who had GWG within the IOM recommendation. When stratified by maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), women who were underweight or normal weight before pregnancy were observed to have a higher risk of macrosomia birth associated with greater GWG. CONCLUSIONS Parental pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity and excessive GWG during pregnancy were highly associated with macrosomia. The association with GWG was most pronounced in mothers who had a normal or underweight pre-pregnancy BMI. Weight control efforts before pregnancy for mothers and fathers as well as control of maternal gain during pregnancy may reduce the risk of macrosomia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the contributions of parental, especially paternal factors to the offspring birth weight. METHODS Eligible 829 live-born, singleton children living in Hubei, China were recruited. Birth weight were measured immediately after birth and information about the parents were collected by face-to-face interview using questionnaire. Association between parental factors and birth weight was evaluated using univariate linear regression and multinomial logistic regression models. RESULTS Fathers living in the rural area had offspring with higher risk of low birth weight when compared with fathers who live in the capital city. Maternal lower education, lower gestational weight gain, being primipara and shorter gestational age were risk factors for low birth weight. In addition, Mothers with the history of chronic disease had higher risk to deliver a low birth weight baby. On the contrary, women who increased non-staple food consumption during pregnancy had higher risk to have a macrosomic pregnancy. However, lifestyle factors including diet, exercise, screen time, drinking and smoking from both maternal and paternal exhibited little influence on fetal birth weight. CONCLUSION Paternal as well as maternal factors exert influence on the fetal birth weight, although maternal factors make bigger contributions. Compared with socioeconomic and obstetric factors, lifestyle before and during pregnancy has less influence on fetal birth weight, suggested that special attention should be paid to antenatal care for the pregnant women with lower socioeconomic status in rural area.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The 2009 Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines define adequate gestational weight gain (GWG) in the attempt to prevent maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess whether the IOM guidelines are met in pregnant women with different pre-gestational body mass index (BMI). METHODS The study included 230 pregnant women recruited at the University Hospital of Pisa (Italy) at their screening visit (24-28 weeks of gestation) for gestational diabetes (GDM). GWG was determined at screening time and before delivery to be compared with GWG recommended by IOM for each pre-pregnancy BMI category. RESULTS A total of 48% of women had a GWG exceeding IOM recommendations. The prevalence of GWG excess was higher in over-weight (OW, 63.2%) and obese (OB, 63.8%) women as compared to normal-weight (NW, 27.7%; p < 0.0001) women. The upper limit of the recommended IOM weight gain range was already exceeded at screening time in 15.5% of women. The percentage increased 27% and 18% in OW and OB, respectively, compared with 1.5% in NW (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION About half of pregnant women had a GWG greater than the IOM recommended. GWG excess is particularly evident in OW and OB women.
