Associations of Maternal Weight Gain in Pregnancy With Offspring Cognition in Childhood and Adolescence: Findings From the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children
TL;DR: Small positive associations between GWG and offspring cognitive development may have lasting effects on educational attainment up to age 16 years and with increased odds of offspring achieving adequate final-examination results in mothers who were overweight prepregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the causal role of body mass index on cardiovascular health in young adults: Mendelian randomization and recall-by-genotype analyses
Kaitlin H Wade,Scott T Chiesa,Alun D. Hughes,Nish Chaturvedi,Marietta Charakida,Alicja Rapala,Vivek Muthurangu,Tauseef Khan,Nick Finer,Naveed Sattar,Laura D Howe,Abigail Fraser,Debbie A Lawlor,George Davey Smith,John E. Deanfield,Nicholas J. Timpson +15 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that higher BMI is likely to cause worse cardiovascular health, specifically higher blood pressure and left ventricular mass index, even in youth, which supports efforts to reduce BMI from a young age to prevent later adverse cardiovascular health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Merlin C. Thomas,M. K. Walker,Jonathan Emberson,A Thomson,Debbie A Lawlor,S Ebrahim,Peter H. Whincup +6 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Birthweight of offspring and paternal insulin resistance and paternal diabetes in late adulthood: cross sectional survey
TL;DR: Offspring birthweight is inversely associated with paternal insulin resistance and diabetes in late adulthood, supporting the hypothesis that genetic factors related to insulin action contribute to the association between birthweight and adult cardiovascular disease and diabetes risk.
