Abstract
Several studies have investigated a link between maternal preconception body mass index, gestational weight gain (GWG), and the risk of childhood allergic diseases, but the conclusions of these studies were inconsistent. This review aimed to evaluate the relationship based on existing studies. We eventually included 18 cohort studies. The findings indicated that both maternal preconception overweight or obesity increased the risk of childhood wheezing (overweight: risk ratio (RR) 1.09, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04–1.15; obesity: RR 1.24, 95% CI 1.12–1.38) and asthma (overweight: RR 1.18, 95% CI 1.05–1.32; obesity: RR 1.34, 95% CI 1.13–1.58), and the risk of childhood wheezing increased with continuous prepregnancy BMI changes (per 5 kg/m2 increase) (RR 1.10, 95% CI 1.05–1.15). Preconception underweight may elevate the risk of childhood eczema ever (RR 1.05, 95% CI 1.02–1.09) and current eczema (RR 1.20, 95% CI 1.05–1.37), and preconception overweight may reduce the risk of childhood eczema ever (RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.96–0.99). No statistically significant association between GWG and the risk of allergic diseases in children was found. Preconception weight management is encouraged for the prevention of allergic diseases in children.
期刊介绍:
Obesity Reviews is a monthly journal publishing reviews on all disciplines related to obesity and its comorbidities. This includes basic and behavioral sciences, clinical treatment and outcomes, epidemiology, prevention and public health. The journal should, therefore, appeal to all professionals with an interest in obesity and its comorbidities.
Review types may include systematic narrative reviews, quantitative meta-analyses and narrative reviews but all must offer new insights, critical or novel perspectives that will enhance the state of knowledge in the field.
The editorial policy is to publish high quality peer-reviewed manuscripts that provide needed new insight into all aspects of obesity and its related comorbidities while minimizing the period between submission and publication.
