Background Not much is known about the associations of maternal obesity and excessive
gestational weight gain with body fat in infancy. Objective To examine the associations of …

OBJECTIVE: To estimate which maternal body composition parameters measured using
multifrequency segmental bioelectric impedance analysis in the first trimester of pregnancy …

Maternal weight and height before pregnancy and weight gain during pregnancy were
recorded for each of 109 mothers who were delivered of normal infants after gestations of 37 …

Background The existence of early factors which, acting during critical periods of intrauterine
or immediate postnatal development, determine long-term health has become increasingly …

Objectives: To examine the development and tracking of subcutaneous fat mass in the first 2
years of life and to examine which parental, fetal and postnatal characteristics are …

Background Maternal glucose and lipid levels are associated with neonatal anthropometry
of the offspring, also independently of maternal body mass index (BMI). Gestational weight …

Background The specialization of human fat deposits is an inquiry of special importance in
the study of fetal growth. It has been theorized that maternal lower-body fat is designated …

Background Beyond pre‐pregnancy BMI, maternal weight change before and during
pregnancy may also affect offspring adiposity. Objective To investigate the relationship …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between maternal prepregnancy body mass
index and early infant growth and body composition. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort …

Background It is suggested that maternal obesity perpetuates offspring obesity to future
generations. Objective To determine whether location of neonate fat mass (FM: central vs …
