Summary: This study investigates the associations between pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The results show that both pre-eclampsia and GDM are independent risk factors for later CVD. The association between pre-eclampsia and CVD is not modified by body mass index (BMI). Effective CVD preventive programs for high-risk women are urgently needed.

Summary: The prediction of pre-eclampsia is important, but current biomarkers face challenges in clinical settings. This study found that incorporating serum creatinine levels and considering renal hyperfiltration significantly improved PE prediction. The developed model is practical and can be easily applied in primary care settings.

Summary: The study found that maternal pre-pregnancy overweight and simultaneous excessive GWG were positively associated with elevated BP in 6-year-old children. Mothers with pre-pregnancy BMI ≥ 25 kg/m(2) and excessive GWG were more likely to have children with elevated diastolic blood pressure.

Summary: Adequate weight gain during pregnancy is important for a healthy pregnancy, but excessive weight gain is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Based on a Polish national survey of 10,319 women and 6930 children, excessive gestational weight gain is associated with higher birthweight, increased risk of birthweight over 4500 g, cesarean section/assisted delivery, pregnancy induced hypertension, hospitalization during pregnancy, and lower Apgar score in the first minute of neonate's life. However, there was no significant difference in premature rupture of membranes and labor inductions. Our study highlights the increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes with excessive gestational weight gain.

Summary: This study found that compared to women with a higher body surface area (BSA), underweight and normal weight pregnant women with a smaller BSA may be more susceptible to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and have a pathological oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). In overweight pregnant women, a higher BSA may increase the risk of GDM and pathological OGTT. Additionally, maternal smoking may increase the risk of diabetes and pathological OGTTs in almost all body mass index groups.

Summary: This study investigates the associations among maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, gestational weight gain (GWG), and the risk of child neural development. The findings suggest that infants of overweight and obese mothers have lower mental development scores, while GWG does not affect psychomotor development. These results are important for understanding the long-term effects of early brain development and addressing the issue of obesity.

Summary: This study aimed to predict small-for-gestational-age infants in Japan through risk scores. The study found that the risk scores during mid-gestation had a better predictive ability for small-for-gestational-age infants compared to the risk scores during early gestation.

Summary: In women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (ppBMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs). The study found that obese mothers and excessive GWG increase the risk of APOs, while inadequate GWG increases the risk of preterm birth.

Summary: In women with gestational diabetes mellitus, pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity, excessive gestational weight gain, and abnormal items of oral glucose tolerance test parameters independently contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes, and the combined effect between these three factors appears to be multiplicative.

Summary: This study examined the impact of body mass index (BMI) and smoking during adolescence on future birth weight. The results showed that BMI and smoking at the start of pregnancy were strongly associated with birth weight, while BMI and smoking at 19 years of age did not show this association.

Summary: This study revealed a non-linear association between vitamin E concentrations in the first trimester and gestational vitamin E change with pre-eclampsia. The findings showed that vitamin E concentrations below 7.3 mg/L and gestational decrease were associated with increased risk of pre-eclampsia.

Summary: Objective non-invasive assessment of maternal cardiovascular potential and kinetic energy using PKR and SMII may help distinguish pregnancies affected by specific placental disorders and those exhibiting healthy cardiovascular adaptation to pregnancy. Women with HDP and/or SGA have distinctive PKR and SMII profiles, reflecting low kinetic energy in pregnancies with SGA and high potential energy in pregnancies affected by HDP. Non-invasive assessment of potential and kinetic cardiovascular energy demonstrates high-flow and low-resistance adaptation in uncomplicated pregnancies.

Summary: Pre-existing maternal overweight/obesity and gestational weight gain are associated with the risk of early childhood caries, but there is currently insufficient evidence to demonstrate the impact of prepregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain on offspring caries experience risk.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between dairy consumption during pregnancy and pregnancy complications. Based on the analysis of multiple studies, there seems to be a neutral association between dairy consumption and gestational weight gain, gestational diabetes mellitus, and pre-eclampsia.

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.
