Maternal obesity during pregnancy and premature mortality from cardiovascular event in adult offspring: follow-up of 1 323 275 person years
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether maternal obesity during pregnancy is associated with increased mortality from cardiovascular events in adult offspring. DESIGN: Record linkage cohort analysis. SETTING: Birth records from the Aberdeen Maternity and Neonatal databank linked to the General Register of Deaths, Scotland, and the Scottish Morbidity Record systems. POPULATION: 37 709 people with birth records from 1950 to present day. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Death and hospital admissions for cardiovascular events up to 1 January 2012 in offspring aged 34-61. Maternal body mass index (BMI) was calculated from height and weight measured at the first antenatal visit. The effect of maternal obesity on outcomes in offspring was tested with time to event analysis with Cox proportional hazard regression to compare outcomes in offspring of mothers in underweight, overweight, or obese categories of BMI compared with offspring of women with normal BMI. RESULTS: All cause mortality was increased in offspring of obese mothers (BMI >30) compared with mothers with normal BMI after adjustment for maternal age at delivery, socioeconomic status, sex of offspring, current age, birth weight, gestation at delivery, and gestation at measurement of BMI (hazard ratio 1.35, 95% confidence interval 1.17 to 1.55). In adjusted models, offspring of obese mothers also had an increased risk of hospital admission for a cardiovascular event (1.29, 1.06 to 1.57) compared with offspring of mothers with normal BMI. The offspring of overweight mothers also had a higher risk of adverse outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Maternal obesity is associated with an increased risk of premature death in adult offspring. As one in five women in the United Kingdom is obese at antenatal booking, strategies to optimise weight before pregnancy are urgently required.

The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Therefore, fetuses of obese mothers are exposed to an imbalance of cytokines, as well as nutrients that can negatively affect fetal programming, leading to adverse long-term effects in the offspring.”

“Increased oxidative stress and inflammation markers have been found in the placenta of obese mothers, suggesting a decisive role of an abnormal intrauterine environment in modulating fetal programming [76,79].”

“The negative effect of maternal obesity on offspring health might be mediated by an alteration in the inflammatory state and an increase in oxidative stress due to excess adipose tissue.”

In the citing paper
“Pregnancy is normally an inflammatory state caused by the remodeling of immunological system to allow embryo implantation, growth and life, regulated by a delicate balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines; in pregnancies complicated by obesity, this balance is shifted mainly towards a pro-inflammatory state.”

“The results showed an increase in mortality in offspring of overweight or obese mothers, particularly for cardiovascular events; moreover, approximately 7.6% of offspring were hospitalized for a cardiovascular event.”

The check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“Evidence of a key role of inflammation in fetal programming was provided by Reynolds et al. in 2015, thanks to a study where supplementation with an anti-inflammatory molecule, the conjugated linoleic acid, led to a reduction in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-1β and metabolic dysfunction in offspring [76,79].”

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.
