Interactive effect of pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy on the weight status in infancy
This study aimed to examine the effects of maternal health, including weight and hypertensive disorders, on child health. Participants were over 4,000 mother-child dyads recruited from health centres in the cities of Shenyang, Wuhan, Guangzhou and Zhuhai in China. Pregnant women in Shenyang, Wuhan and Guangzhou were recruited from 2009 to 2010 and in Zhuhai were recruited from 2014 to 2015. Mothers completed baseline questionnaires at recruitment, and further assessments took place when the child was born. Mother-child dyads were then followed up at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after birth.
