ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
It is suggested that maternal obesity perpetuates offspring obesity to future generations.OBJECTIVE:
To determine whether location of neonate fat mass (FM central vs. peripheral) is related to total neonate FM and whether maternal obesity influences this relationship.METHODS:
Neonate body composition and skin-fold thicknesses were assessed in healthy neonates (n = 371; 1-3 days old). Linear regression models examined the relationship between total FM and location of FM (central vs. peripheral). Location of FM was calculated by skin-folds peripheral was the sum of (biceps and triceps)/2 and central was represented by the subscapular skin-fold.RESULTS:
A significant interaction was found for location of FM and maternal obesity. Holding all predictors constant, in offspring born to non-obese mothers, a 0.5 mm increase in central FM predicted a 15 g greater total FM, whereas a 0.5 mm increase in peripheral FM predicted a 66 g greater total FM. However, in offspring born to obese mothers, a 0.5 mm increase in central FM predicted a 56 g total FM, whereas a 0.5 mm increase in peripheral FM predicted a 14 g greater total FM.CONCLUSIONS:
The relationship between total FM and location of FM is influenced by maternal obesity.Palabras clave
