The interactive effect of pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy on the weight status in infancy.

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???85^th 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.

Project description:BackgroundThe association between obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2) and pattern of medication use during pregnancy in the United States is not well-studied. Higher pre-pregnancy BMI may be associated with increases or decreases in medication use across pregnancy as symptoms (e.g. reflux) or comorbidities (e.g. gestational diabetes) requiring treatment that may be associated with higher BMI could also change with advancing gestation.ObjectivesTo determine whether prenatal medication use, by the number and types of medications, varies by pre-pregnancy obesity status.MethodsIn a secondary data analysis of a racially/ethnically diverse prospective cohort of pregnant women with low risk for fetal abnormalities enrolled in the first trimester of pregnancy and followed to delivery (singleton, 12 United States clinical sites), free text medication data were obtained at enrollment and up to five follow-up visits and abstracted from medical records at delivery.ResultsIn 436 women with obesity and 1750 women without obesity (pre-pregnancy BMI, 19-29.9 kg/m2), more than 70% of pregnant women (77% of women with and 73% of women without obesity) reported taking at least one medication during pregnancy, respectively (adjusted risk ratio (aRR)=1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.01, 1.20), with 81% reporting two and 69% reporting three or more. A total of 17 classes of medications were identified. Among medication classes consumed by at least 5% of all women, the only class that differed between women with and without obesity was hormones and synthetic substitutes (including steroids, progesterone, diabetes, and thyroid medications) in which women with obesity took more medications (11 vs. 5%, aRR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.38, 2.61) compared to women without obesity. Within this class, a higher percentage of women with obesity took diabetes medications (2.3 vs. 0.7%) and progesterone (3.4 vs. 1.3%) than their non-obese counterparts. Similar percentages of women with and without obesity reported consuming medications in the remaining medication classes including central nervous system agents (50 and 46%), gastrointestinal drugs (43 and 40%), anti-infective agents (23 and 21%), antihistamines (20 and 17%), autonomic drugs (10 and 9%), and respiratory tract agents (7 and 6%), respectively (p > 0.05 for all adjusted comparisons). There were no differences in medication use by obesity status across gestation. Since the study exclusion criteria limited the non-obese group to women without thyroid disease, in a sensitivity analysis we excluded all women who reported thyroid medication intake and still a higher proportion of women with obesity took the hormones and synthetic substitutes class compared to women without obesity.ConclusionOur findings suggest that pre-pregnancy obesity in otherwise healthy women is associated with a higher use of only selected medications (such as diabetes medications and progesterone) during pregnancy, while the intake of other more common medication types such as analgesics, antibiotics, and antacids does not vary by pre-pregnancy obesity status. As medication safety information for prenatal consumption is insufficient for many medications, these findings highlight the need for a more in-depth examination of factors associated with prenatal medication use.

Project description:BackgroundOverweight/obesity in women of childbearing age is a serious public-health problem. In China, the incidence of maternal overweight/obesity has been increasing. However, there is not a meta-analysis to determine if pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) is related to infant birth weight (BW) and offspring overweight/obesity.MethodsThree electronic bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL) were searched systematically from January 1970 to November 2012. The dichotomous data on pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity and BW or offspring overweight/obesity were extracted. Summary statistics (odds ratios, ORs) were used by Review Manager, version 5.1.7.ResultsAfter screening 665 citations from three electronic databases, we included 45 studies (most of high or medium quality). Compared with normal-weight mothers, pre-pregnancy underweight increased the risk of small for gestational age (SGA) (odds ratios [OR], 1.81; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.76-1.87); low BW (OR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.27-1.71). Pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity increased the risk of being large for gestational age (LGA) (OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.44-1.63; and OR, 2.08; 95% CI; 1.95-2.23), high BW (OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.44-1.63; and OR, 2.00; 95% CI; 1.84-2.18), macrosomia (OR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.42-1.97; and OR, 3.23; 95% CI, 2.39-4.37), and subsequent offspring overweight/obesity (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.77-2.13; and OR, 3.06; 95% CI, 2.68-3.49), respectively. Sensitivity analyses revealed that sample size, study method, quality grade of study, source of pre-pregnancy BMI or BW had a strong impact on the association between pre-pregnancy obesity and LGA. No significant evidence of publication bias was observed.ConclusionsPre-pregnancy underweight increases the risk of SGA and LBW; pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity increases the risk of LGA, HBW, macrosomia, and subsequent offspring overweight/obesity. A potential effect modification by maternal age, ethnicity, gestational weight gain, as well as the role of gestational diseases should be addressed in future studies.
