Female offspring birth weight is associated with Body Mass Index, waist circumference and metabolic syndrome in Latin American women at 10-years postpartum.

Our findings add to the emerging evidence that offspring BW might be a potential indicator for future maternal anthropometric and metabolic risks. PMID: 29421309 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
