Abstract

【Objective】 To explore the maternal gestational and perinatal factors related with overweight and obesity in childhood. 【Methods】 With a stratified cluster random sampling method,3 230 children aged 10 to 14 in three districts of Wuxi were surveyed with questionnaire and physical examination was performed.The data on maternal gestational and perinatal status were gotten from the local Maternal Gestational and Perinatal Health Care Databank. 【Results】 Among all the objects,2 870 questionnaires were qualified and the response rate was 88.9%.The incidence of overweight and obesity was 13.62%,in which boys' was 11.67% and girls' was 1.95%.The incidence of overweight and obesity of boys was much higher than that of girls (P<0.01).The results of univariate analysis indicated that the higher of maternal education and BMI in early pregnancy,the easier for the happen of overweight and besity in childhood (P<0.05).Other maternal gestational and perinatal factors might be not associated with overweight and besity in childhood.The result of multiple linear regression analysis indicated maternal BMI in early pregnancy might be the independent influencing factors of BMI in childhood (P<0.05).The BMI in childhood would increase 0.05 kg/m² with 1 kg/m² increase in maternal BMI in early pregnancy. 【Conclusion】 Maternal BMI in early pregnancy may be the independent influencing factors of overweight and obesity in childhood and controlling maternal BMI in early pregnancy could prevent overweight and obesity in childhood.
