Delivery by cesarean section and offspring adiposity and cardio‐metabolic health at ages 6.5, 11.5 and 16 years: Results from the PROBIT cohort in Belarus

Pediatric Obesity Mar 15, 2021

Rifas‐Shiman SL, Huh SY, Martin RM, et al. - Given the reports suggesting the correlation of cesarean delivery with later adiposity, researchers sought to report on the correlations of cesarean delivery with adiposity and cardio‐metabolic biomarkers. They conducted an observational analysis of 15,069 children in the PROBIT cohort in Belarus. Child anthropometry and blood pressure at 6.5, 11.5 and 16 years and fasting blood (11.5 years) were assessed. Slightly higher weight was recorded for cesarean‐delivered children at 6.5 (mean BMI 15.8 vs 15.6 kg/m2), 11.5 (18.4 vs 18.2) and 16 years (21.5 vs 21.3). Overall findings suggest little or no correlation of cesarean delivery with adiposity or related cardio‐metabolic biomarkers in childhood. All outcome effect estimates attenuated following adjustment for maternal BMI.
