母亲孕前体质指数及孕期增重与学龄前儿童超重肥胖的关系研究

目的 探讨母亲孕前BMI及孕期增重与学龄前儿童超重肥胖的关系。方法 2016年6-11月,以广州市4 303名3~5岁学龄前儿童为研究对象,根据WHO标准和中国成人肥胖标准分别判断儿童和母亲孕前体重状态,参照美国医学研究所孕期增重推荐值判断母亲孕期增重情况。应用多因素二分类非条件logistic回归模型和协方差分析母亲孕前BMI和孕期增重与学龄前儿童超重肥胖的关系。结果 矫正混杂因素后,logistic回归分析显示,母亲孕前超重肥胖的儿童发生超重肥胖的风险是母亲孕前体重正常儿童的1.820倍（OR=1.820,95% CI：1.368~2.422）;与母亲孕期增重适宜的儿童相比,母亲孕期增重过度的儿童超重肥胖发生风险增加（OR=1.296,95% CI：1.007~1.667）。协方差分析结果也显示,母亲孕前体重超重肥胖和母亲孕期增重过度均增加儿童BMI Z值。根据母亲孕前BMI分为3组进行分层分析,结果显示,不同孕期增重组间儿童超重肥胖发生风险差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。但与母亲孕前BMI适宜且孕期增重适宜组相比,母亲孕前超重肥胖且孕期增重过度组的儿童发生超重肥胖的风险增加（OR=1.574,95% CI：1.029~2.409）。结论 母亲孕前超重和孕期增重过度均增加学龄前儿童超重肥胖的风险,且母亲孕前超重较孕期增重过度对学龄前儿童超重肥胖发生的影响更大。     

Postpartum weight retention in relation to gestational weight gain and pre-pregnancy body mass index: A prospective cohort study in Vietnam

BackgroundThe prevalence of maternal overweight and obesity is increasing in Asia. This study prospectively investigated the association between pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain (GWG) and 12-month postpartum weight retention (PPWR) in a large cohort of Vietnamese mothers.MethodsOf the 2030 pregnant women recruited from three cities in Vietnam at 24–28 weeks of gestation, a total of 1666 mothers were followed up for 12 months after delivery and available for analysis. The outcome variable PPWR was determined by subtracting the pre-pregnancy weight from the 12-month postpartum measured weight, while GWG and pre-pregnancy BMI were classified according to the Institute of Medicine and WHO criteria for adults, respectively. Linear regression models were used to ascertain the association between pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG and PPWR accounting for the effects of plausible confounding factors.ResultsBoth pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG were significantly associated with PPWR (P < 0.001). The adjusted mean weight retention in underweight women before pregnancy (3.71 kg, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.37–4.05) was significantly higher than that in those with normal pre-pregnancy weight (2.34 kg, 95% CI 2.13–2.54). Women with excessive GWG retained significantly more weight (5.07 kg, 95% CI 4.63–5.50) on average at 12 months, when compared to mothers with adequate GWG (2.92 kg, 95% CI 2.67–3.17).ConclusionsBeing underweight before pregnancy and excessive GWG contribute to greater weight retention twelve months after giving birth. Interventions to prevent postpartum maternal obesity should target at risk women at the first antenatal visit and control their weight gain during the course of pregnancy.     

孕前BMI和妊娠期糖尿病对儿童脂肪重积聚时相提前的独立和联合效应

目的 探讨孕前BMI、妊娠期糖尿病（GDM）与儿童脂肪重积聚（AR）时相提前的关联。方法 基于已经建立的马鞍山优生优育队列，本研究共纳入2 896对母子对，收集孕妇孕前身高、体重、24~28周GDM情况，在婴儿42天、3月龄、6月龄、9月龄以及1岁后每6个月进行1次随访，连续追踪随访至6岁，获得其身长/高、体重等资料。采用多因素logistic回归分析孕前BMI、GDM与儿童AR时相提前的关联强度，并通过相乘、相加模型分析孕前BMI及GDM对于儿童AR时相提前的发生是否存在交互作用。结果 母亲孕前体重不足、体重正常、超重和肥胖者分别占23.2%（672例）、66.4%（1 923例）、8.7%（251例）和1.7%（50例）；GDM患病率为12.4%。儿童AR年龄为（4.38±1.08）岁，AR时相提前的儿童占39.3%。多因素logistic回归结果显示，孕前超重（OR=1.67，95%CI：1.27~2.19）、肥胖（OR=3.05，95%CI：1.66~5.56）以及孕期患有GDM（OR=1.40，95%CI：1.11~1.76）是AR时相提前发生的危险因素，而孕前体重不足（OR=0.60，95%CI：0.49~0.73）是AR时相提前发生的保护因素。与仅孕前超重/肥胖或孕期患有GDM相比，孕前超重/肥胖与孕期患有GDM并存，AR时相提前的发生风险更高，OR值（95%CI）分别为2.03（1.20~3.44）、3.43（1.06~11.12）。相乘模型和相加模型分析显示，孕前BMI和孕期患有GDM对儿童AR时相提前无交互作用。结论 母亲孕前较高的BMI和孕期患有GDM是儿童AR时相提前发生的独立危险因素，两者并存的风险更高，但无统计学交互作用。     

Change in maternal body mass index is associated with offspring body mass index: a 21-year prospective study

Purpose

To examine whether changes in maternal overweight and obesity from pre-pregnancy to two decades postpartum predict the body mass index (BMI) of adult offspring.

Methods

We used a subsample of 1997 mother–offspring pairs from the 7,223 original cohorts of women who gave birth in Brisbane, Australia, between 1981 and 1984. Multiple linear regression and multinomial logistic regression were used to examine the relationship between change in maternal BMI from pre-pregnancy to 21-year postpartum, and offspring BMI at 21-year, adjusting for potential confounding factors.

Results

At 21-year postpartum, 31.15 % mothers were overweight and a further 30.80 % were obese. Mothers gained a mean weight of 16.07 kg over the 21 year. We found that the offspring of mothers who became overweight or remained overweight at 21-year postpartum were at greater risk of being overweight and obese at 21 years. In the adjusted model, offspring of mothers who had normal BMI before pregnancy but became overweight by 21-year postpartum were (odds ratio) 1.72 (95 % CI = 1.20, 2.47) times more likely to be overweight. Compared to offspring of mothers who maintained normal weight over two decades, offspring of mothers who remained persistently overweight were (odds ratio) 5.39 (95 % CI = 3.50, 8.30) times more likely to be obese by age 21 year.

Conclusions

The findings of this study suggest that long-term changes in maternal BMI from pre-pregnancy to 21-year postpartum are independently associated with BMI in their young adult offspring.     

孕前BMI、妊娠期糖尿病与儿童4岁时肥胖相关指标关联的出生队列研究

目的 探讨孕前BMI、妊娠期糖尿病（GDM）与儿童4岁时肥胖相关指标的关联。方法 基于已经建立的“马鞍山市优生优育队列”,对2013年10月至2015年4月出生的单胎活产儿,随访至4岁。在孕期首次填写问卷调查孕前身高、体重,在24～28周接受75 g口服糖耐量试验进行GDM诊断。在儿童4岁时测量身高、体重、腰围和体成分。组间比较采用χ²检验、方差分析或t检验,采用logistic回归模型与广义线性模型分析孕前超重/肥胖、孕前患有GDM与儿童肥胖相关特征的关系。结果 儿童4岁时超重、肥胖率分别为13.08%、6.03%。控制孕期和儿童人口统计学变量后,孕前母亲超重/肥胖者儿童在4岁时发生肥胖、腰围超标、腰围身高比超标的风险要高,其OR值（95% CI）分别为3.27（2.15～4.98）、2.32（1.72～3.14）和2.29（1.73～3.02）;且与体成分指标（骨骼肌、体脂肪、体脂百分比）相关（P<0.05）。孕期母亲患有GDM者,儿童4岁时肥胖发生风险要比母亲未患有GDM者高1.78倍（OR=1.78,95% CI：1.14～2.79）;但是孕期母亲患有GDM对4岁儿童腰围超标、腰围身高比超标发生风险并无影响,与体成分指标（骨骼肌、体脂肪、体脂百分比）无统计学关联。结论 孕前母亲超重/肥胖、孕期患有GDM是4岁儿童肥胖的独立危险因素,且孕前BMI与儿童体成分的各项指标相关。     

Is There a Healthy Foreign Born Effect for Childhood Obesity in the United States?

Objective of the study was to explore factors associated with early childhood obesity and assess whether having a foreign born mother is protective against childhood obesity. Data sources include 9 months and 4 years parent interviews and direct assessments of possessive children’s weight and height (4 years) or length (9 months) from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort. Subjects were children with anthropometric measures who lived with their mothers (n = 9,700 at 9 months and 8,200 at 4 years). Overweight is defined as a weight-for-length ratio at or above the 95th percentile at 9 months; obesity is defined as a body mass index at or above the 95th percentile at 4 years. The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 15.4% at 9 months and 18.0% at 4 years. After adjustment for potential confounders, having a foreign-born mother was not associated with the odds of overweight at 9 months or 4 years. At 9 months and 4 years, low birth weight, pre-pregnancy weight and weight gain during pregnancy were protective of overweight. In addition to these factors, at 4 years, excessive weight gain in the first 9 months was the strongest predictors for obesity. Living in a safe neighborhood and ever having breastfed were protective against obesity. Having a foreign born mother is not protective of early childhood obesity. A focus on health of women prior to conception and on women’s and infants’ health in the perinatal period are key to addressing childhood obesity.     

Prenatal Programming of Childhood Overweight and Obesity

Objective: To review the scientific evidence for prenatal programming of childhood overweight and obesity, and discuss its implications for MCH research, practice, and policy. Methods: A systematic review of observational studies examining the relationship between prenatal exposures and childhood overweight and obesity was conducted using MOOSE guidelines. The review included literature posted on PubMed and MDConsult and published between January 1975 and December 2005. Prenatal exposures to maternal diabetes, malnutrition, and cigarette smoking were examined, and primary study outcome was childhood overweight or obesity as measured by body mass index (BMI) for children ages 5 to 21. Results: Four of six included studies of prenatal exposure to maternal diabetes found higher prevalence of childhood overweight or obesity among offspring of diabetic mothers, with the highest quality study reporting an odds ratio of adolescent overweight of 1.4 (95% CI 1.0–1.9). The Dutch famine study found that exposure to maternal malnutrition in early, but not late, gestation was associated with increased odds of childhood obesity (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.5–2.4). All eight included studies of prenatal exposure to maternal smoking showed significantly increased odds of childhood overweight and obesity, with most odds ratios clustering around 1.5 to 2.0. The biological mechanisms mediating these relationships are unknown but may be partially related to programming of insulin, leptin, and glucocorticoid resistance in utero. Conclusion: Our review supports prenatal programming of childhood overweight and obesity. MCH research, practice, and policy need to consider the prenatal period a window of opportunity for obesity prevention.

Longitudinal Association of Maternal Pre-Pregnancy BMI and Third-Trimester Glycemia with Early Life Growth of Offspring: A Prospective Study among GDM-Negative Pregnant Women

Intrauterine modifiable maternal metabolic factors are essential to the early growth of offspring. The study sought to evaluate the associations of pre-pregnancy BMI and third-trimester fasting plasma glucose (FPG) with offspring growth outcomes within 24 months among GDM-negative pregnant women. Four hundred eighty-three mother –offspring dyads were included from the Shanghai Maternal-Child Pairs Cohort. The pregnant women were categorized into four mutually exclusive groups according to pre-pregnancy BMI as normal or overweight/obesity and third-trimester FPG as controlled or not controlled. Offspring growth in early life was indicated by the BAZ (BMI Z-score), catch-up growth, and overweight/obesity. Among those with controlled third-trimester FPG, pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity significantly increased offspring birth weight, BAZ, and risks of overweight/obesity (RR 1.83, 95% CI 1.23 to 2.73) within 24 months. Those who had uncontrolled third-trimester FPG had a reduced risk of offspring overweight/obesity within 24 months by 47%. The combination of pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity and maternal uncontrolled third-trimester FPG increased 5.24-fold risk of offspring catch-up growth within 24 months (p < 0.05). Maternal pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity and uncontrolled third-trimester glycemia among GDM-negative women both have adverse effects on offspring growth within 24 months. With the combination of increasing pre-pregnancy BMI and maternal third-trimester FPG, the possibility of offspring catch-up growth increases.     

Use of BMI as a measure of overweight and obesity in a field study on 5-7 year old children

Summary Objective The present field study examines the use of BMI in comparison with estimates of percent fat mass to screen for overweight and obesity in children. Design Cross-sectional field study. Setting Four waves of children 1996–1999 at Kiel, North West Germany. Subjects A representative large sample of 2286 5–7 year old children representing 40 % of the total child population examined by school physicians within the same period in Kiel. Main outcome measures BMI was compared with anthropometric measures (TSF, BSF, SIF, SSF) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). The 90^th and 97^th BMI percentiles were used as cut offs for overweight and obesity, respectively. Results BMI reached a low sensitivity to identify overweight children when compared with the two estimates of % FM (0.60 to 0.78 for girls, 0.71 to 0.82 for boys, respectively). The specificity of BMI was 93 to 95 %. By contrast, BMI reached higher sensitivity to screen for obese children of 0.83 to 0.85 for boys and 0.62 to 0.80 for girls at a concomitant specificity of 0.95 to 0.98 for boys and 0.96 to 0.97 for girls as defined by assessment of body fat mass. Comparing nutritional status of overweight children classified as overweight or non overweight by BMI shows that BMI only identified obese but not-overweight children. Conclusion BMI can be used to screen for obese children. In contrast BMI has a poor sensitivity to screen for overweight children. Body composition analysis should be used to screen for children at risk of becoming obese. Received: 10 October 2001, Accepted: 21 December 2001     

Development of relative weight, overweight and obesity from childhood to young adulthood. A longitudinal analysis of individual change of height and weight

Background: To investigate individual longitudinal change of relative weight, overweight and obesity from age 5 to 25 years by gender. Methods: A cohort was imbedded in four surveys conducted 1992/1993, 1995/1996, 1998/1999 and 2004/2005 in three areas in Germany. Twelve-year-follow-up of 2183 children initially aged 5–13 years at baseline. Main measurements are body mass index (BMI) and international obesity task force (IOTF)-cut point defined overweight and obesity. A special longitudinal random effects model for cohort data was applied, which uses age as meta-meter of follow-up time and takes age at study entry into account. Results: BMI, overweight and obesity increases with␣linear and squared age. Girls have a significant higher growth rate than boys in BMI (BMI: 0.89 vs. 0.75 kg/m² per 1 year age increment), whereas there is no statistical significant gender difference for overweight [odds ratio (OR) = 1.08 per 1 year] or obesity (OR = 1.11 per 1 year). Longitudinal change rates of BMI vary substantially between individuals [95% reference range (β ± 1.96 × SD) for linear change per 1 year is −0.14 to 1.98 in females and −0.29 to 1.83 in males; the 95% range of quadratic change rates are −0.09 to 0.04 in females and −0.08 to 0.05 in males]. Moreover, a steeper increase in BMI over time is observed for children with a higher baseline relative weight. Conclusion: Increases in BMI and the propensity of overweight and obesity follow a quadratic growth curve with the steepest increase before and during puberty. However, the substantial variability of relative weight gain within individuals indicate, that more research in individual change patterns is needed.     

Gestational Weight Gain and Overweight in Children Aged 3–6 Years

Objective

To determine whether gestational weight gain (GWG) was associated with increased odds of childhood overweight after accounting for pre-pregnancy BMI.

Methods

In a prospective cohort study based on a premarital and perinatal health care system in China, data of 100 612 mother-child pairs were obtained. The main exposure was GWG as both a continuous and categorical variable. The outcome measure was overweight, defined by age- and sex-specific cutoff values for body mass index (BMI) in children aged 3–6 years.

Results

A 1-kg increase in maternal GWG was associated with an increase of 0.009 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.007–0.010, P < 0.001) in children’s mean BMI; in the subgroup of pre-pregnancy overweight/obese mothers, the increase in children’s BMI was 0.028 (95% CI, 0.017–0.039, P < 0.001). Excessive GWG played an important role in childhood overweight when adequate GWG was used as the reference, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.21 (95% CI, 1.12–1.29). The risk was highest (OR 2.22; 95% CI, 1.79–2.76) in the children of mothers who were overweight/obese before pregnancy and gained excessive weight during pregnancy.

Conclusions

Greater maternal GWG was associated with greater offspring BMI, and the risk of overweight was doubled in children whose mothers were overweight/obese before pregnancy and gained excessive weight during pregnancy. As a result, maintenance of appropriate weight gain during pregnancy and prophylaxis of maternal overweight/obesity before pregnancy should be a strategy for preventing childhood overweight/obesity.Key words: cohort study, gestational weight gain, childhood overweight, birth weight, maternal pre-pregnancy BMI     

Maternal Body Mass Index and Self-Reported Postpartum Depressive Symptoms

Objectives: The association between extremes of body mass index (BMI) and depression in women has been documented, yet little is known about the relationship between obesity and postpartum depression (PPD). This study seeks to characterize the association between BMI and PPD. Methods: The 2000–2001 Utah data from Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) were used to determine the proportion of women, stratified by prepregnancy body mass index, reporting postpartum depressed mood and stressors during pregnancy. Results: The prevalence of self-reported moderate or greater depressive symptoms was 27.7% (S.E. ±2.2) in underweight, 22.8% (±1.2) in normal weight, 24.8% (±2.9) in overweight and 30.8% (±2.5) in obese women. After controlling for marital status and income, normal BMI (19.8–25.9) was associated with the lowest rate of self-reported postpartum depressive symptoms. There was a two-fold increase in self-reported depressive symptoms requiring assistance among overweight and obese women compared to normal weight women (1.53% normal, 2.99% overweight, and 3.10% obese [p < 0.001]). Obese women were significantly more likely to report emotional and traumatic stressors during pregnancy than normal weight women. Conclusion: This population-based survey suggests a potential association between prepregnancy body mass index and self-reported postpartum depressive symptoms. Prospective studies of association between obesity and PPD, with improved diagnostic precision are warranted.     

母亲孕前BMI和孕期增重与学龄前儿童超重肥胖的相关性研究

目的探讨母亲孕前体质量指数(BMI)和孕期增重与学龄前儿童超重肥胖的相关性。方法选取2019年1月至2020年1月于余姚市妇幼保健院儿童保健科进行儿童保健咨询的3~5岁儿童共300例为研究对象,回顾性收集母亲孕前BMI和孕期增重情况,采用多因素Logistic回归模型进行相关性分析。结果儿童超重肥胖的发生率为35例(11.67%),在校正性别、年龄等混杂因素后,母亲孕前低体重的儿童出现超重肥胖的风险降低,母亲孕前超重肥胖的儿童出现超重肥胖的风险增加,其OR值及95%CI分别为0.602(0.413~0.755)、1.822(1.370~2.424),均P<0.05;母亲孕期增重过度的儿童出现超重肥胖的风险增加,其OR值及95%CI为1.298(1.009~1.669),P<0.05,但是母亲孕期增重不足并不会降低儿童出现超重肥胖的风险(P>0.05);母亲孕前超重肥胖且孕期增重过度的儿童出现超重肥胖的风险显著增加,母亲孕前低体重且孕期增重不足或孕期增重正常的儿童出现超重肥胖的风险显著降低,其OR值及95%CI分别为1.575(1.031~2.411)、0.556(0.343~0.872)、0.411(0.233~0.719),均P<0.05。结论母亲孕前BMI超重和孕期增重过度均是学龄前儿童发生超重肥胖的影响因素,并且母亲孕前BMI的影响更加严重。     

BMI values and other anthropometric and functional measurements as predictors of obesity in a selected group of adolescents

Summary Background Obesity is well known to be a problem all over the world: WHO data report that one billion subjects are overweight and 300 million are obese. Epidemiological data (IOTF) show that prevalence rates are increasing not only in industrialized countries, but also in developing countries, especially as far as the adolescent population is concerned. Aim of the study To select adolescents at risk of obesity by BMI calculation and by other anthropometric and functional measurements in the Aosta Valley Mountain Region (Northern Italy). Methods 532 adolescents were recruited and participated in the study (254 males and 278 females, aged 15.4 ± 0.7). According to standard methods, the following parameters were measured: weight and height for BMI calculation, four skin folds (mid–triceps,mid–biceps, subscapular and supra–iliac) to compute body fat mass,waist and hip circumferences, systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure. Parental weight and height, educational and socio–economic status were requested from the parents using a questionnaire. Results Percentages of overweight and obese boys were 20.9% and 4.7% respectively, and percentages of overweight and obese girls were 14.7% and 1.1% respectively (using Cole's cut off point reference standard). Mean body fat mass percentages (males = 19.3 ± 5.6%, females 23.3 ± 4.4%) showed males at risk of obesity, as indicated by a higher prevalence rate of overweight and obesity in this gender. Positive correlations (p <0.01) were found between BMI and the following parameters: mid–triceps skinfolds, body fat mass percentage,waist and hip circumferences, but no correlation emerged with WHR; body fat mass positively correlates (p <0.01) with waist and hip circumferences; students' BMI positively correlates with blood pressure (p <0.01),with parental BMI and shows a positive trend towards parental low education and socioeconomic levels. Conclusions Overweight and obesity prevalence rates are higher in males than in females according to literature data; family influences weight condition. The correlations that emerged show that BMI is a good adiposity index also in adolescents, it acts as an indicator of cardiovascular risk condition and is influenced by parental BMI.     

Maternal Pre-Pregnancy Nutritional Status and Physical Activity Levels and a Sports Injury Reported in Children: A Seven-Year Follow-Up Study

Objective: Our aim was to analyze dose–response associations between maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index and physical activity levels with childhood sports injury rates. Methods: Participants included pre-pregnant mothers (n = 4811) and their children at the age of 7 years (n = 3311). Maternal anthropometry (height, weight, and body mass index), time spent in physical activity, and education level were recorded. All sports injuries were defined as injuries reported in the past year by the children at the age of 7 years. Results: Children whose mothers were overweight/obese in the pre-pregnancy period were 2.04 (OR = 2.04, 95% CI = 1.12–3.71) times more likely to report a sports injury at the age of 7 years. Underweight mothers exhibited a 74% decrease in the odds of their children reporting a sports injury at follow-up (OR = 0.26, 95% CI = 0.10–0.68). Finally, an increase in maternal physical activity across the last three quartiles was associated with a lower odds of sports injuries. Conclusions: The risk of reporting a sports injury was greater for children whose mothers were overweight/obese in the pre-pregnancy period. However, there was a lower risk with both maternal underweight status and increasing minutes of physical activity.     

Maternal Pre-Pregnancy Obesity and Diagnosis of Asthma in Offspring at Age 3 Years

Objective The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between maternal pre-pregnancy obesity and a diagnosis of asthma in offspring at age 3 years. Methods A population-based sample of children born in large U.S. cities in 1998–2000 was followed since birth (N = 1971). The main outcome measure was whether the mother reported at 3 years that the child had ever been diagnosed with asthma. Multilevel logistic regression models were used to estimate the association between maternal pre-pregnancy obesity and child asthma diagnosis, as well as the extent to which the association can be explained by sociodemographic, medical, obstetric, and behavioral factors associated with both conditions. Results Children with obese mothers had 52% higher odds of having an asthma diagnosis by age 3 (OR = 1.52; 95% CI: 1.18–1.93). Sociodemographic, medical, obstetric, and behavioral factors explained some, but not all, of the association. Conclusions Maternal pre-pregnancy obesity is associated with diagnosis of asthma in offspring at age 3 years. The results from this study are preliminary and need to be replicated and further explored, but are suggestive of a complex intergenerational linkage between obesity and asthma.     

Impact of parental BMI on the manifestation of overweight 5–7 year old children

Summary Background There is an increase in the prevalence of overweight and obese children. Genetic and environmental factors are contributing factors but the influence of parental nutritional state on early manifestation of overweight is not well characterised. Aim of the study To systematically investigate the impact of parental BMI on the manifestation of overweight in 5 to 7 year old children. Methods Cross-sectional study (as a part of the Kiel Obesity Prevention Study [KOPS]) of 3306 children aged 5–7 years and their parents. The nutritional state of the children (BMI, triceps skinfold, fat mass, prevalence of overweight) was investigated in subgroups differing with respect to parental BMI. Results BMI of the children was significantly correlated with parental BMI (r = 0.272, p < 0.01). Children's BMI showed closer associations with maternal than with paternal BMI (r = 0.254 vs. 0.159, p < 0.01). A multivariate regression analysis showed that parental BMI explained 7.6 % of the variance in children's BMI. OR for overweight was elevated in children with at least one overweight parent (overweight mother: OR 2.9 (boys)/3.1 (girls); overweight father: OR 1.8 (boys)/2.4 (girls). OR was highest for children with two obese parents (OR 7.6 (boys)/6.3 (girls). Children with one obese parent were more frequently overweight than children with one overweight parent. Conclusions Parental BMI showed only a weak correlation with the BMI of their children. However, children's risk of becoming overweight increased with parental overweight and obesity. Thus, familial disposition has to be taken into account to identify risk groups for preventive measures. Received: 5 February 2002, Accepted: 2 May 2002     

江苏省0~2岁儿童超重与母亲妊娠期及围生期饮食情况的关系研究

目的 分析0~2岁儿童超重相关的母亲妊娠期及围生期饮食习惯等因素,为控制0~2岁儿童超重提供科学依据。 方法 采用多阶段随机整群抽样,2013年对江苏省2个监测点的537名0~2岁儿童及母亲进行了体格饮食情况与健康状况等问卷调查。采用logistic回归法分析了0~2岁儿童超重的影响因素。 结果 有效样本487例,0~2岁儿童超重率为39.0%(190/487),其中男童超重率低于女童(χ²=4.60,P<0.05)。0~12月龄儿童超重率高于13~24月龄儿童(χ²=7.40,P<0.05)。孕母孕前超重率为28.5%(139/487),孕期饮食量变化者占6.6%(32/487)以及孕期补充营养补充剂者占6.8%(33/487)。在调整了可能的人口学及其它影响因素后,孕母孕前超重(BMI>25 kg/m²)人群相对正常(BMI:18.54~25 kg/m²)人群,其子代超重风险提高了2.02倍(OR=2.02,95%CI:1.31~3.11)。 结论 母亲孕前BMI可能是0~2岁儿童超重的影响因素,控制母亲孕前BMI,保持营养均衡,食物多样的饮食习惯,提倡补充适量的营养补充剂,可减少儿童超重发生的风险。     

产妇久坐行为对产后一年体重滞留影响的研究

目的 分析孕妇产后久坐行为对产后体重滞留的情况及其影响因素。方法 2012年5月至2013年8月在合肥市妇幼保健所收集1 220名产后42 d产妇建立基线资料,从该市孕产妇信息管理系统获取孕前体重及分娩信息,分别于产后3、6、9、12个月随访,观察产妇久坐时间等指标,采用重复测量资料的方差分析和混合效应模型分析产妇久坐与体重滞留的关系。结果1 220名产妇最终追踪到有效数据者1 141名。该研究人群孕前体重为(53.22±6.88)kg,产后42 d和3、6、9、12个月的体重(kg)滞留分别为7.85±5.11、7.51±5.40、5.79±5.18、4.42±4.91、3.26±4.65。重复测量资料方差分析结果显示,孕妇产后不同时间段体重滞留的差异有统计学意义(P<0.001);混合效应模型显示,分步调整孕前BMI、哺乳方式、分娩方式等混杂因素后,产妇久坐行为与产后体重滞留间的差异有统计学意义(P<0.001),逐步调整混杂因素后显示混合效应模型结果稳定。结论 产妇久坐是影响产后体重滞留重要因素之一。     

Birth Outcomes,Postpartum Health and Primary Care Contacts of Immigrant Mothers in an Australian Nulliparous Pregnancy Cohort Study

To investigate differences and similarities in birth outcomes, postpartum health and primary care contacts of mothers born overseas of non-English speaking background (NESB) compared with Australian-born mothers. Nulliparous women were recruited in early pregnancy (≤24 weeks gestation) to a prospective pregnancy cohort study from six metropolitan public hospitals in Victoria, Australia. Analyses are based on questionnaires completed in pregnancy and at 3 months postpartum. Of the 1,507 women recruited in the study, 1,431 women (95%) were followed up at 3 months postpartum. Immigrant mothers of NESB (n = 212) and Australian born mothers (n = 1,074) had similar obstetric outcomes and postpartum physical health outcomes. Immigrant women were more likely to say they had been depressed for 2 weeks or longer since the birth (Adj OR = 1.92, 95% CI 1.3–2.8); to report relationship problems (Adj OR = 1.39, 95% CI 0.9–2.1) and to report lower emotional satisfaction with their relationship with the partner (Adj OR = 1.69, 95% CI 1.1–2.6) after adjusting for age, education status, income, method of birth and genital tract trauma. Immigrant mothers were less likely to be asked about feeling low or depressed by general practitioners (OR = 0.79, 95% CI 0.5–0.9) and about relationship problems by maternal and child health nurses (OR = 0.68, 95% CI 0.5–0.9). Immigrant women of NESB reported greater psychological distress, less emotional satisfaction with their partner and more relationship problems in the first 3 months postpartum than Australian born women. Although immigrant mothers had an equivalent level of contact with primary care practitioners in the first 3 months postpartum, they were less likely to be asked about their emotional well-being or about relationship problems by health professionals.
