Over the previous three decades, the prevalence and growth of overweight and obese status has risen relentlessly in both the general population and pregnant women. This rise is seen in both higher pre-pregnancy body mass index measurements along with excessive weight gain during pregnancy. Maternal obesity has been shown to exacerbate co-morbidities such as insulin resistance, pregnancy induced hypertension, and infectious states in parturient mothers. These changes have been shown to subsequently increase rates of fetal anomalies and affect fetal growth, as well as various aspects of the delivery such as rates of instrumented vaginal deliveries and an increase in delivery by cesarean section. Maternal obesity increases fetal birth weight, influences the delivery room resuscitation of the neonate by increasing the need for respiratory support, and increases the risk of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. This review also looks at recent studies revealing the strong association between maternal and offspring obesity and other long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of offspring.

The Association Between Father Support and Daughter Physical Activity: Insights From a Study Involving U.S. Latina Pre-Teens.

Purpose: Social support, particularly from family, is crucial for physical activity (PA) among youth. This study examined the association between father support and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in Latina pre-teens and explored the moderating role of body mass index (BMI).
Design: Cross-sectional analysis.

Background: Understanding the risks and effects of gestational weight gain (GWG) is a prominent area of perinatal research but approaches for quantifying GWG are evolving and remain underdeveloped, especially in clinical settings for underserved demographic subgroups. To fill this gap, we demonstrated and compared six GWG metrics across pre-pregnancy BMI classifications: total GWG, trimester-specific linear rate of GWG, adherence to total and trimester-specific recommendations, area under the curve, and GWG for gestational age z-scores.
Methods: We used clinical data on 44,801 pregnant people from community-based health care organizations with extensive longitudinal measures and substantial representation of understudied subgroups.

Purpose: To explore the impact of high body mass index (BMI) on the embryo quality and clinical outcomes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients, and the possible genes involved.
Methods: Patients who underwent in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment and embryo transfer in our center from November 2014 to September 2023, were divided into low BMI PCOS (LBP) group, high BMI PCOS (HBP) group, and high BMI control (HBC) group. Transcriptome sequencing was performed in eight PCOS patients' granulosa cells (GCs).
Associations between lifestyle and well-being in early and late pregnancy in women with overweight or obesity: Secondary analyses of the PEARS RCT.

Objectives: The associations between individual lifestyle behaviours and well-being are still poorly understood, particularly in the antenatal period when women are exposed to physiological changes and increased psychological distress. A healthy lifestyle score (HLS) comprising protective lifestyle behaviours may be useful for studying links between overall lifestyle and psychosocial outcomes. This study aimed to examine bidirectional associations between a HLS and its components and psychological well-being in pregnant women with overweight/obesity.

Objectives: The prevalence of many psychiatric symptoms, including anxiety and depression, is higher in individuals born extremely preterm (EP) than in term-born individuals during childhood and adolescence. In this prospective study of adolescents born EP, we examined associations between early-life risk factors (prenatal maternal health conditions, socioeconomic and social factors) and anxiety and depression at 15 years of age.
Methods: We included 682 participants (53.
