Abstract:
Maternal obesity and excessive weight gain during pregnancy are associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, and have a long-term adverse influence on general health outcomes related to heart, respiration, metabolism, and cognition in offspring. Obesity and weight gain in women are important modifiable risk factors in pregnancy, which can be managed through dietary and lifestyle to prevent excessive intake of calories, and reduce weight gain, stress and depression during pregnancy. Given that maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index plays a more important role in pregnancy outcomes than gestational weight gain, preconception care is critical for improving long-term health outcomes in their children. Therefore, future prevention strategies should focus on interventions for excess weight and obesity before pregnancy.
