Influence of maternal #obesity, gestational weight gain and gestational #diabetes on offspring (n=238) metabolites: Positive association with lipid profiles up to 2 years of age #DOHaD @CNEJ_ sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Maternal BMI and Gestational Weight Gain are association with increased risk of early-onset cardiovascular disease in offspring: Swedish national registry cohort (n=2.5M) #DOHaD #pregnancy #obesity @JAMA_current jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
A cohort study from China (n=15,245 pregnancies) found that early-pregnancy fasting blood glucose and subsequent gestational #diabetes define four distinct risk groups for adverse #pregnancy outcomes @FrontEndocrinol frontiersin.org/journals/end…
A retrospective cohort study of n=50,000 births in China highlights greater body length and weight in the first 6 years of life. #DOHaD frontiersin.org/journals/end…
