Figures & data
Notes: The total study sample size was 58,332 at birth, and 49,824 (85.4%), 47,388 (81.2%), 48,401 (83.0%), 47,709 (81.8%), 42,604 (73.0%), 43,948 (75.3%), 15,896 (27.3%), and 9661 (16.6%) at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, and 5 years of age. Squares (Total GWG), inverted triangle (weight gain during the first half of pregnancy), and upright triangle (weight gain during the second half of pregnancy) represent the point estimate, and the bars are the 95% confidence intervals. Multivariable regression analysis, adjusting for maternal age, prepregnancy body mass index, maternal height, smoking, cesarean section, gestational age at birth, birth weight, birth length, mode of infant feeding during 0–6 months (exclusively breastfeeding, mixed feeding, or formula only).
Abbreviations: OR, odds ratios; CI, confidence interval; GWG, gestational weight gain; f-GWG, weight gain during the first half of pregnancy; s-GWG, weight gain during the second half of pregnancy.
Notes: Values represent the prevalence of offspring adiposity for each body mass index and weight gain category. The total study sample size was 58,332 at birth, and 49,824 (85.4%), 47,388 (81.2%), 48,401 (83.0%), 47,709 (81.8%), 42,604 (73.0%), 43,948 (75.3%), 15,896 (27.3%), and 9661 (16.6%) at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, and 5 years of age. BMI groups were commented the Chinese BMI criteria, underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (BMI 18.5−23.9 kg/m2), overweight (BMI 24.0− 27.9 kg/m2), and obesity (BMI ≥ 28.0 kg/m2). According to the IOM guidelines, participants were divided into three categories based on maternal weight gain during the first half of pregnancy.
Abbreviations: f-GWG, weight gain during the first half of pregnancy; AGA, appropriate for gestational age.
