Summary: Research shows that women with asthma experience greater weight gain and retention during pregnancy and postpartum compared to women without asthma. Factors such as exercise-induced asthma and certain types of asthma medications are associated with excess gestational weight gain among women with asthma.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the trimester specific gestational weight gain (GWG) in Indian pregnant women and compare it with international and Indian reference data. The study found that Indian women had lower GWG compared to international standards, but higher GWG compared to Indian reference data. Maternal BMI, age, parity, hemoglobin concentrations, and height were found to be associated with GWG.

Summary: Insufficient gestational weight gain is a risk factor for postpartum depression symptoms in women with a pre-pregnancy BMI between 20.0 and <23.0 kg/m(2), highlighting the importance of monitoring gestational weight gain for early detection of PPDS in this population.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of gestational weight gain (GWG) on the risk of preeclampsia among women with different prepregnancy body mass index (BMI). The findings showed that high prepregnancy BMI and excessive GWG were associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia.

Summary: This study examined the long-term impact of pre-pregnancy body mass index (PPBMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) on postpartum weight retention (PPWR) and maternal and child body composition. The results showed that PPBMI and early GWG (< 20 weeks) were significantly associated with PPWR and maternal and child percent body fat at age 6-7. The findings suggest that maternal nutrition before and during pregnancy can have long-term implications for PPWR and body composition, and interventions should focus on preconception and early pregnancy to optimize maternal and child health outcomes.

Summary: Excessive gestational weight gain is associated with symptoms of anhedonia and anxiety, while inadequate gestational weight gain is a significant indicator of symptoms of depression. These findings suggest the potential for interventions focused on psychosocial support to have positive effects on gestational weight gain.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to identify the socioeconomic and clinical factors associated with Excessive Gestational Weight Gain (EGWG). The results showed that EGWG was associated with being of Black race, being an English speaker, being overweight or obese before pregnancy, and having a mood disorder diagnosis. On the other hand, patients who were underweight, multiparous, and those with gestational diabetes were less likely to have EGWG.

Summary: This study examined the impact of maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain on both maternal and infant outcomes. The findings showed that a traditional Brazilian dietary pattern had a protective effect against excessive weight gain during pregnancy. However, being overweight before pregnancy and being over 35 years old increased the risk of excessive weight gain. The study suggests that nutritional intervention and weight monitoring should be implemented early in pregnancy to reduce health risks for both mother and child.

Summary: This study conducted in Ethiopia found that most women in the study area did not achieve adequate gestational weight gain, particularly those who were underweight before pregnancy. Factors associated with higher gestational weight gain included higher women empowerment, dietary diversity, pre-pregnancy body mass index, haemoglobin levels, and adequate prenatal care.

Summary: The study found that women face various barriers and enablers to maintain healthy weight gain during pregnancy, including physiological changes, attitudes and beliefs, psychological support, social networks, advice from healthcare professionals, and availability of education. Education and support play a crucial role in helping women achieve healthy weight gain during pregnancy.

Summary: The study revealed a significant association between intuitive eating during and after pregnancy with lower body mass index, weight retention, fasting glucose, and HbA1c at 1-year postpartum in women with gestational diabetes mellitus and high-risk subgroups, indicating that intuitive eating could be an effective intervention for weight and glucose control in women with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Summary: Maternal pre-pregnancy overweight and excessive gestational weight gain are associated with decreased cognitive development in children, particularly in terms of intelligence and verbal comprehension. Adequate gestational weight gain in mothers with pre-pregnancy underweight is beneficial for children's cognition, while excessive weight gain is linked to a decrease in children's full-scale intelligence quotient.

Summary: The nutrition status of elderly Chinese shows significant disparities in obesity, overweight, and underweight prevalence by geographical and socioeconomic factors. Older age, rural residence, and low income are associated with higher risk of underweight. Most elderly individuals do not meet the Dietary Reference Intakes for various micronutrients, with risk increasing with age.
