Bell GA, et al. - Researchers investigated if maternal polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) was associated with differences in offspring growth and obesity in the Upstate KIDS study, a prospective cohort study of infants born in New York State (excluding New York City) oversampled for fertility treatments and multiple births. In this large, prospective cohort study, no significant differences were found in weight, length/height, and body mass index through 3 years of age among children born to mothers with or without PCOS. No link was observed between maternal PCOS and offspring rapid weight gain. Overall, little evidence was found to suggest that maternal PCOS influences early childhood growth.
