LGA infants have higher body fat if mother has diabetes. (Similar Birth Weights).
LITTLE ROCK, ARK. -- Large-for-gestational-age infants of women with gestational diabetes have higher proportions of body fat than do infants of the same size who are born to women without diabetes, Dr. Celeste Durnwald reported.
Compared with 52 nondiabetic women who gave birth to large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants, 50 women who had gestational diabetes and gave birth to LGA babies were older (28.4 years vs. 17.7 years), heavier before pregnancy (93 kg vs. 69 kg), more likely to be nonwhite (30% vs. 4%) and to be smokers (16% vs. 2%), and to give birth at an earlier gestational age (38.0 weeks vs. 39.2 weeks), she said at the annual meeting of the North American Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group.
