Maternal diet but not gestational weight gain predicts central adiposity accretion in utero among pregnant adolescents

Background: Modifiable risk factors during pregnancy, such as diet and weight gain, are associated with fetal birth weight but little is known about how these factors influence fetal fat acquisition in utero among pregnant adolescents. Objective: To determine whether maternal pre-pregnancy BMI (ppBM...

description Background: Modifiable risk factors during pregnancy, such as diet and weight gain, are associated with fetal birth weight but little is known about how these factors influence fetal fat acquisition in utero among pregnant adolescents. Objective: To determine whether maternal pre-pregnancy BMI (ppBMI), gestational weight gain (GWG) and dietary intake during pregnancy influence fetal fat accretion in utero . Methods: Longitudinal data were obtained from 121 pregnant adolescents enrolled in a study designed to identify determinants of maternal and fetal bone changes across gestation. Adolescents (ages 13–18 years) completed up to three study visits during early, mid- and late gestation. Maternal anthropometrics, 24 h dietary recalls and measures of fetal biometry were obtained at each visit. Fetal abdominal wall thickness (abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness, AbFat), a measure of fetal subcutaneous fat, was calculated by sonography at each visit. Statistical determinants of AbFat during late pregnancy were explored using simple and multiple regression. Results: During late pregnancy (34.8±2.0 weeks; range 31.0–40.6 weeks of gestation), the median (inter-quartile range) fetal AbFat and GWG were 0.44 (0.39, 0.55) cm and 14.6 (9.5, 18.3) kg, respectively. After adjusting for infant birth weight, variables significantly associated with fetal AbFat included gestational age ( P

Fetal AbFat had a significant positive quadratic relationship with total maternal dietary sugar intake such that both low and high extremes of sugar consumption were associated with significantly higher fetal AbFat. Birth weight was not significantly associated with maternal intake of added sugars. Conclusion: Extreme sugar intakes among pregnant adolescents may lead to increased accumulation of fetal abdominal fat with little net effect on birth weight. This finding suggests that increased sugar consumption during pregnancy promotes shifts in fetal body composition.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0307-0565</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1476-5497</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1038/ijo.2014.202</identifier><identifier>PMID: 25468827</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>London: Nature Publishing Group UK</publisher><subject>692/499 ; 692/700/2814 ; Abdomen ; Abdominal wall ; Accretion ; Adipose tissue ; Adolescent ; Adolescents ; Birth Weight ; Body Composition ; Body mass index ; Body weight gain ; Childbirth &amp; labor ; Confidence intervals ; Deposition ; Diabetes ; Diet ; Dietary Carbohydrates - adverse effects ; Dietary intake ; Dietary Sucrose - adverse effects ; Epidemiology ; Ethnicity ; Feeding Behavior ; Female ; Fetuses ; Food intake ; Gestation ; Gestational age ; Health aspects ; Health Promotion and Disease Prevention ; Health risk assessment ; Hispanic people ; Humans ; Internal Medicine ; Lipid metabolism ; Longitudinal studies ; Maternal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena ; Mathematical analysis ; Medicine ; Medicine &amp; Public Health ; Metabolic Diseases ; Nutrition research ; Obesity ; Obesity, Abdominal - epidemiology ; Obesity, Abdominal - prevention &amp; control ; pediatric-original-article ; Pregnancy ; Pregnancy Complications - etiology ; Pregnancy Complications - prevention &amp; control ; Pregnant Women ; Public Health ; Risk analysis ; Risk Factors ; Self report ; Statistical analysis ; Sugar ; Teenage pregnancy ; Teenagers ; Thickness measurement ; Wall thickness ; Weight Gain ; Womens health</subject><ispartof>International Journal of Obesity, 2015-04, Vol.39 (4), p.565-570</ispartof><rights>Macmillan Publishers Limited 2015</rights><rights>COPYRIGHT 2015 Nature Publishing Group</rights><rights>Copyright Nature Publishing Group Apr 2015</rights><rights>Macmillan Publishers Limited 2015.</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c586t-46800661d93f6d1a4cd86cdb90c03def3d57d259e8080b1d0ebee95f8210fa243</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c586t-46800661d93f6d1a4cd86cdb90c03def3d57d259e8080b1d0ebee95f8210fa243</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1038/ijo.2014.202$$EPDF$$P50$$Gspringer$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://link.springer.com/10.1038/ijo.2014.202$$EHTML$$P50$$Gspringer$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,778,782,27913,27914,41477,42546,51308</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25468827$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Whisner, C M</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Young, B E</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Pressman, E K</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Queenan, R A</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Cooper, E M</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>O'Brien, K O</creatorcontrib><title>Maternal diet but not gestational weight gain predicts central adiposity accretion in utero among pregnant adolescents</title><title>International Journal of Obesity</title><addtitle>Int J Obes</addtitle><addtitle>Int J Obes (Lond)</addtitle><description>Background: Modifiable risk factors during pregnancy, such as diet and weight gain, are associated with fetal birth weight but little is known about how these factors influence fetal fat acquisition in utero among pregnant adolescents.
