Abstract

Objective To explore the relationship between birth weight (BW) and the risk of childhood obesity, in order to provide evidence for the prevention of childhood obesity. Method Studies on birth weight and childhood obesity were identified by searching major electronic databases (PubMed, Elsevier and Web of Science) by the medical subject headings and key words, and a Meta-analysis was conducted to assess the dose-response relationship between childhood obesity and birth weight. Results A total of 32 studies including 548 348 subjects were enrolled in this study.Compared with reference birth weight (2 500-4 000 g), high birth weight(≥4 000 g) was risk factor for childhood obesity (OR=1.77, 95%CI:1.66-1.89).There was significant dose-response relationship between birth weight and the risk of childhood obesity, which suggested that the risk of childhood obesity increased 1.1% with the birth weight increasing every 100 g.When the birth weight increased to 3 575 g, the risk of obesity in children was statistically significant (OR=1.08, 95%CI:1.00-1.17, P=0.046).And the risk of obesity increased obviously when birth weight was higher than 3 575 g. Conclusions There is a significant J-dose-response relationship between birth weight and childhood obesity risk.When children′s birth weight exceeds 3 575 g, the risk of childhood obesity significantly increased.

Key words
