Cross-sectional study of weight gain and increase in BMI throughout pregnancy
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectiveTo generate reliable new reference ranges for weight gain and increase in body mass index (BMI) during pregnancy from a large population.Study designIn a prospective cross-sectional study at the Obstetric outpatient clinic, Zurich University Hospital, weight gain and BMI, before gestation and at the booking visit, were determined in 4034 pregnant women with accurately dateable singleton pregnancies (Caucasian: N = 3242, Asian (predominantly from Sri Lanka, Thailand and the Philippines): N = 578 and Black: N = 214). Women with known insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus before pregnancy were excluded. Fifth, 50th and 95th centiles were presented for Caucasians and corresponding centile curves for Asians and Blacks. Simple and multiple regression analyses were performed for various risk factors. A significance level of P < 0.05 was used in all tests.ResultsMean weight gain was 15.5 ± 5.9 kg (34.2 ± 13.0 lb) at term with values >25.4 kg (56.0 lb) and <5.7 kg (12.6 lb) for the 95th and the 5th centile, respectively. Mean BMI increased slightly and steadily to 28 kg m−2 at term. Parity and pre-pregnancy BMI were significant determinants in Caucasians. Weight gain and BMI was slightly lower in Asians and Blacks.ConclusionsBMI centile curves have the advantage in that they consider height during the whole course of pregnancy. It may be an additional helpful tool in controlling weight gain in pregnancy. Further studies are required to determine the prognostic implications of values ≥95th centile and ≤5th centile.
