Blood pressure and cholesterol levels increase/decrease with weight gain/loss.
2002 OCT 17 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- by Maria G. Essig, MS, ELS, senior medical writer - Excessive weight gained during pregnancy that has not been lost by 6 months after giving birth is a significant predictor of future obesity, according to researchers in the U.S.
Brenda L. Rooney and Charles W. Schauberger at Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center in La Crosse, Wisconsin, collected data on weight and body mass index (BMI) changes in 540 women from pregnancy to an average follow-up of 8.5 years. The investigators used Institute of Medicine guidelines to categorize weight gain during pregnancy as low, appropriate, or excessive.
Subjects gained an average of 6.3 kg from baseline (prior to pregnancy) to follow-up. Baseline BMI did not influence weight gain (Excess pregnancy weight gain and long-term obesity: One decade later. Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2002;100(2):245-252).
Women who gained an excessive amount of weight during pregnancy showed the greatest weight gain at follow-up, an increase of 8.4 kg compared with an increase of 6.5 kg in women who gained the appropriate amount of weight during pregnancy and an increase of 4.1 kg in women whose weight gain during pregnancy was low (p=0.01).
Women who had returned to their baseline weight by 6 months after giving birth had gained an average of 2.4 kg at follow-up compared with a gain of 8.3 kg in women who retained pregnancy weight at 6 months after delivery (p=0.01). Breast-feeding and ...
