ABSTRACT
CONTEXT Overweight/obesity is one of the most important health problems. Birth by cesarean section has been shown to influence long-term health outcomes including obesity. OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this systematic review-meta-analysis is to update acknowledgment of the increased risk of cesarean section on offspring's overweight/obesity.METHODS:
This study follows the PRISMA guidelines. A systematic literature search was conducted on Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science; we have selected all the articles published until January 2, 2022. For inclusion, studies must have reported either (i) both birth by cesarean section and adult (≥18 years) offspring's body mass index; (ii) cohort or case-control study design; and (iii) a risk estimate. Heterogeneity testing was performed using Cochran's Q and I2 statistics. Publication bias was assessed by the Egger test and the Begg test. Meta-analysis was performed through a random-effects model.RESULTS:
Twelve studies with a combined population of 180 065 subjects were included in the meta-analysis. The overall analysis (N = 19) yielded a combined risk estimate for overweight/obesity of 1.19 (95% CI, 1.08-1.30) and the test of heterogeneity resulted into Q = 57.44 ( I2 = 68.67%, P ≤ .001). The risk of offspring obesity is 1.23 (95% CI, 1.09-1.39) and the test of heterogeneity resulted into Q = 39.55 ( I2 = 69.66%, P ≤ .001). Children born by cesarean section have an increased risk of obesity in adulthood.
