Obesity Before and During Pregnancy
Obesity Before and During Pregnancy
Thursday, April 11, 2013
Obesity before and during pregnancy is not only a threat to the health of the mother, but also the future children, as adults, are more susceptible to high blood pressure, hyperglycemia and high cholesterol. To discover the relationship between the body mass index of the mother, the pounds during pregnancy and cardiovascular risk factors in the offspring study collected a collaboration between the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel) and the University of Washington (Seattle, USA), published in the journal Circulation.
Evaluated born looking Hagit Hochner and colleagues, the health of 1,400 people in Jerusalem between 1974 and 1976. The researchers found that at the age of thirty years, the children of women who are overweight to great weight problems, a wider waist, blood pressure (both minimum and maximum) and higher levels of insulin and triglycerides tend to rotate. Conversely, lower levels of these individuals from the so-called "good" cholesterol. Then, when the mother during pregnancy over 14 pounds of fat, the body mass index of the child is substantially higher than that detected when. Expectant mothers fat of less than 9 pounds
Hochner said the discovery emphasizes that "we now know that events early in the life of the fetus in the long-term consequences for the health of adults"
