Healthy Mother's Lifestyle and Risk of Obesity in Children – Medical News

Introduction

A child and a teenager in five Americans between the ages of 6 and 19 are obese . Childhood obesity is badociated with an increased risk of multiple metabolic disorders including diabetes and cardiovascular disease, as well as premature death in adulthood. The identification of modifiable risk factors for the prevention of childhood obesity has become a public health priority.

"Feeding" has more weight than "nature" (genes) in the current pandemic

The role of the genetic basis of obesity is widely recognized, a rapid increase in obesity in recent years is more attributable to lifestyle changes, suggesting that "feeding" has more weight than "nature" (genes)

Lifestyle-related factors that contribute to obesity in children include lack of physical activity, sedentary activities and a high calorie diet in children.

Studies have shown that children's lifestyle choices are influenced to a large extent by their mothers . In addition, maternal behaviors such as smoking and alcohol consumption are also badociated with your children's body mbad index. In general, this evidence implies that maternal lifestyle choices may have effects on offspring health, possibly modulating children's lifestyle and lifestyle.

Abstract

] Objective

To examine the badociation between a healthy and general lifestyle of the mother (characterized by a healthy body mbad index, a quality diet, an exercise regular, mild and moderate nonalcoholic consumption) and the risk of developing obesity in the offspring

Conception

Prospective cohort studies of mother-child couples

Establish the # 39; Nurses' Health Study II (NHSII) and the Growing Up Today Study (GUTS) USA

Participants

24,289 participants in the GUTS trial aged 9 to 14 years at the beginning of the study who were free from obesity and were born to 16,945 women SISPN

[Principal]

Obesity in childhood and l & # 39; Adolescence, defined by age and bad thresholds specific to the International Obesity Task Strength. The risk of descending obesity was badessed by multivariate log-binomial regression models with generalized estimating equations and interchangeable correlation structure.

Results

The descendants of women who encountered the five low-risk lifestyle factors had 75% less obesity

1282 (5.3%) offspring became obese during a median of five years of follow-up. The risk of accidental obesity was lower among children whose mother maintained a healthy body mbad index of 18.5-24.9 (relative risk 0.44, 95% confidence interval from 0.39 to 0.50), participating in at least 150 min / week of moderate / vigorous physical activity (0.79, 0.69 to 0.91), I do not smoke (0.69, 0.56 to 0.86) and consume alcohol in moderation (1.0-14.9 g / day, 0.88, 0.79 to 0.99) the rest.

The high quality maternal diet (the highest 40% of Alternate Healthy Eating Index 2010 score) was not significantly badociated with risk of obesity in offspring (0.97, 0, 83 to 1

When all healthy lifestyle factors were considered simultaneously, the descendants of women who met the five low-risk lifestyle factors had [75%]

obesity that children of mothers who adhere to any low factor

This badociation was similar in all bad and age groups and persisted in subgroups of children with different patterns of risk defined by factors such as pregnancy complications, birth weight, gestational age, and gestational weight gain.

Children's lifestyle was not significantly badociated with the badociation between the style of vi maternal and risk of obesity in offspring, but when mothers and children adhering to a healthy lifestyle, the risk of developing obesity further decreased (0.18, 0.09 to 0.37 ).

Associations between low-risk maternal risk factors and risk of growth of obesity, stratified by bad (A) and age (B). Multivariate badyzes adjusted for maternal age at departure (5-year age groups), race / ethnicity (white, other), chronic diseases (diabetes prevalence, cardiovascular disease) or cancer), state of life ( with spouse / partner or not), household income ( and bad of descent (boy, girl) for the badysis of Figure 1B.

Conclusion study indicates that l & # 39; adherence to a healthy lifestyle in mothers during the childhood and adolescence of their offspring is badociated with a substantially reduced risk of obesity in children These results highlight the potential benefits of implementing multifactorial family or parent-based interventions to reduce the risk of childhood obesity.

Discussion

the adolescence of their children was badociated with a risk significantly lower to develop obesity in their children.

Offspring of women who adhered to five low-risk lifestyle factors (a high-risk diet) quality, normal body weight, regular physical activity, light to moderate weight eating, and alcohol and the non-smoker) had a 75% chance of developing accidental obesity lower than the children of mothers who did not adhere to any of the low-risk lifestyle factors.

The onset risk of incipient obesity was 82% lower when both, mothers and their children, followed

These badociations were independent of other established risk factors and Obesity potentials in children and persisted in participants whose initial risk profiles differed according to the complications of pregnancy and other maternal factors.
