Gestational weight gain and risk of autism spectrum disorders in offspring: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

This study suggested that excessive GWG was associated with higher risk of ASD in offspring.What the implications are of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? More high quality cohort studies are needed to confirm this result. This research has the potential to inspire new research on ASD and promote efforts to design appropriate interventions against excessive GWG. PMID: 31790315 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
