7 with TG (p=0.022) and the metabolic score (p=0.042). Offspring of mothers with overweight/obesity who had accelerated weight-for-length gain had much higher TG values and metabolic score than all other children (Figure 2). We found no sex- specific effects in the associations presented (all p>0.1). When analysing the Dutch group (n=1046) separately, we found in essence the same results, except for weight-for-length gain which was more strongly associated with offspring’s glucose values ( β =0.094; 95%CI:0.016-0.172) in the Dutch population than in the multi-ethnic population ( β =0.062; 95%CI:-0.009-0.137). Figure 2. Interaction maternal pBMI and postnatal accelerated growth Mean values of SBP (a), TG (c) and metabolic score (b+d) for the different groups according to maternal pBMI [normal or high (=overweight/obese)] and weight gain (a+b) and weight-for-length gain (c+d) (no accelerated or accelerated growth). pBMI = prepregnancy body mass index; SBP = systolic blood pressure; TG = triglycerides. 183 pBMI, postnatal growth and offspring’s CMP
