Associations of Maternal Diabetes and Body Mass Index With Offspring Birth Weight and Prematurity.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Maternal obesity, pregestational type 1 diabetes, and gestational diabetes have been reported to increase the risks for large birth weight and preterm birth in offspring. However, the associations for insulin-treated diabetes and non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes, as well as the associations for joint diabetes disorders and maternal body mass index, with these outcomes are less well documented.

Objective

To examine associations of maternal diabetes disorders, separately and together with maternal underweight or obesity, with the offspring being large for gestational age and/or preterm at birth.

Design, setting, and participants

This population-based cohort study used nationwide registries to examine all live births (n = 649 043) between January 1, 2004, a
