Effects of Gestational Sleep Patterns and Their Changes on Maternal Glycemia and Offspring Physical Growth in Early Life.

ABSTRACT: Maternal sleep patterns during pregnancy are drawing increased attention to examine its role in the regulation of maternal glycemia and physical growth of offspring within 24 months. Among 3329 eligible mother-child pairs included in the Shanghai Maternal-Child Pairs Cohort, sleep patterns of pregnant women were assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and objective measurement in early and late pregnancy. Offspring physical growth within 24 months was primarily indicated by the body mass index Z-score (BAZ), catch-up growth, and overweight/obesity. In total, 3329 and 382 pregnant women were included with subjectively assessed and objectively measured sleep pattern, respectively. The increased risk of GDM was associated with maternal night-time sleep duration ≥8.5 h in early pregnancy, o
