摘要：2 pregnancies. Childhood BMI z score was increased in association with maternal obesity (mean increase 0.47 [95% CI 0.39, 0.56]) and with ≥10% maternal weight gain between pregnancies (mean increase 0.14 [95% CI 0.06, 0.21]), independent of covariates. In contrast, increased BMI z score for younger siblings, compared to older siblings, was not associated with maternal obesity in the earlier pregnancy or maternal weight gain between pregnancies. BMI z score was higher in younger compared to older siblings in association with deprivation (mean difference between most and least affluent categories 0.29 [0.08, 0.37]), persistent or new onset maternal smoking (increased by mean of 0.10[0.00, 0.19] for always smokers and 0.20[0.03, 0.38] for those starting compared to never smoked) and increased birth weight (BMI z score increased by 0.11 for each increase in birth weight z score [0.07, 0.14]).ConclusionWhen within-family confounding is considered, poverty, persistent and new onset maternal smoking during pregnancy and increased birth weight, but not maternal obesity or weight gain, are independent predictors of increased BMI in young children.
