The interactive effect of pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy on the weight status in infancy.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We aimed to assess whether hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) could modify the effect of pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity (OWO) on the risk of offspring high body mass index (BMI) in infancy. A total of 3,765 mother-child pairs were recruited from two Chinese birth cohorts. BMI???85th percentile, based on World Health Organization criteria, was defined as a high BMI for the risk of developing severe obesity in later life. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the combined effects and multiplicative interactions of pre-pregnancy OWO?+?HDP on offspring high BMI. Relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) or attributable proportion (AP) was used to estimate additive interactions. RERI?>?0 or AP?>?0 indicates a significant additive interaction. Compared with the non-OWO and normal blood pressure group, the combination of OWO?+?HDP was positively associated with offspring high BMI at 12 months of age [OR 3.10 (95%CI 1.59, 6.04)], with 51% of the effects attributed to an additive interaction [AP 0.51 (95%CI 0.13, 0.89)]. An interactive effect was found between the pre-pregnancy OWO?+?HDP and offspring high BMI in infancy. Interventions to control pre-pregnancy OWO and HDP are important to prevent obesity and associated adverse outcomes in offspring.
