Abstract

(Abstracted from JAMA2016;315(11):1129–1140)Neonates born to overweight or obese women are more likely to be large for gestational age. It has been noted that maternal obesity-related traits are observationally associated with birth weight; however, the causal nature of these associations is uncertain.
