Abstract
Aims In previous studies we could show that male neonates with a Body Mass Index (BMI) <10P have a double risk to develop obesity during the first 6 years of life compared to females. As the main factor of influence for developing obesity we could identify the maternal BMI for both male and female infants. This leads to the hypothesis that maternal overweight has a sex specific influence on the intrauterine fetal growth pattern (Brune et al: Obesity 2010, 4:798-802).
Highlights
Fetal growth pattern is regulated sex-specific dependent on maternal Body Mass Index (BMI)
