Abstract
Gestational weight gain had longâterm effects on BMI in a minority adolescent population. Excessive pregnancy weight gain is likely to contribute to longâterm weight retention, especially if adolescents are overweight or obese when they become pregnant with their first children. Intervention during pregnancy to limit GWG has the potential of limiting longâterm negative health consequences that result from overweight and obesity in minority women.
