Gestational diabetes: The forerunner for the development of maternal and childhood obesity and metabolic syndrome?

Vohr, Betty R., Boney, Charlotte M.·2008·The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To examine the risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome in women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus and in offspring born to mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus. METHODS: A review of studies examining the development of obesity, hypertension, metabolic abnormalities, metabolic syndrome, and type II diabetes in mothers with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus and control mothers, and offspring of mothers with a history of gestational diabetes and control mothers. RESULTS: Longitudinal studies demonstrate that women with a prior history of gestational diabetes mellitus and obesity are at significantly greater risk of developing metabolic syndrome than mothers with no history of gestational diabetes or obesity. The development of metabolic syndrome in children with increasing age is related to maternal gestational diabetes mellitus, maternal glycemia in the 3rd trimester, maternal obesity, neonatal macrosomia, and childhood obesity. CONCLUSIONS: The current prevalence of obesity in both adults and children and associated disorders of blood pressure and lipid metabolism, suggest a perpetuating cycle of increasing obesity, insulin resistance, and abnormal lipid metabolism, which has ominous consequences for future generations.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Children born to mothers with GDM have a longer-term risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

    “There is also a longer-term risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease in the child.”

    From The Pathophysiology of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (2018) · cites this paper as [67]

  • Children born to mothers with GDM have almost double the risk of developing childhood obesity compared with nondiabetic mothers, even after adjusting for confounders such as maternal BMI.

    “Children born to mothers with GDM have almost double the risk of developing childhood obesity when compared with nondiabetic mothers, even after adjusting for confounders such as maternal BMI [67,68]”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
