We aimed to study growth patterns according to rapid weight gain (RWG) and infant feeding practices during the first 120 days and whether infant feeding practices mediated the association between RWG in the first semester of life and subsequent body mass index (BMI) z-score in children from age 1 to 6. (1) Methods: 862 children from the Growth and Feeding during Lactation and Early Childhood in Children of Aragon study (CALINA in Spanish) were examined. Repeated-measures ANOVA analyses were conducted to assess growth trajectories according to RWG and type of feeding practice. The product of coefficients mediation method was used to assess the potential contribution of infant feeding practices to the association between RWG and BMI z-score. Mediation models were conducted using IBM SPSS-PROCESS Statistics for Windows, Version 26.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp. (2) Results: BMI and weight z-score trajectories were significantly higher in the RWG group and the formula-fed group. No significant differences were found regarding height. Infant feeding practices did not mediate the association between RWG and BMI z-score but were associated with BMI at 6 years. (3) Conclusions: Infant feeding practices and RWG determine different growth trajectories of BMI and weight during childhood. Although infant feeding practices did not mediate the association between early RWG and BMI later in life, formula feeding is independently related to higher BMI growth patterns later in childhood.

IntroductionThe authors examined how body mass index (BMI) across life is linked to the risk of midlife knee osteoarthritis (OA), testing whether prolonged exposure to high BMI or high BMI at a particular period has the greatest influence on the risk of knee OA.MethodsA population-based British birth cohort of 3035 men and women underwent clinical examination for knee OA at age 53 years.Heights and weights were measured 10 times from 2 to 53 years. Analyses were stratified by gender and adjusted for occupation and activity levels.ResultsThe prevalence of knee OA was higher in women than in men (12.9% (n=194) vs 7.4% (n=108)). In men, the association between BMI and later knee OA was evident at 20 years (p=0.038) and remained until 53 years (OR per z-score 1.38 (95% CI 1.11 to 1.71)). In women, there was evidence for an association at 15 years (p=0.003); at 53 years, the OR was 1.89 (95% CI 1.59 to 2.24) per z-score increase in BMI. Changes in BMI from childhood in women and from adolescence in men were also positively associated with knee OA. A structured modelling approach to disentange the way in which BMI is linked to knee OA suggested that prolonged exposure to high BMI throughout adulthood carried the highest risk and that there was no additional risk conferred from adolescence once adult BMI had been accounted for.ConclusionThis study suggests that the risk of knee OA accumulates from exposure to a high BMI through adulthood.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGZiel: Review der Literatur zu Schwangeren mit Gestationsdiabetes, die ein erhöhtes peripartales Risiko aufweisen, welches im Rahmen des geburtshilflichen Managements Beachtung finden sollte.Methodik: Systematische Literaturrecherche.Ergebnisse: Als Gestationsdiabetes wird ein erstmals in der Schwangerschaft auftretender bzw. diagnostizierter Diabetes bezeichnet. Die Pathophysiologie und das Risikoprofil entsprechen dem des Diabetes mellitus Typ 2. Eine entscheidende Rolle spielen dabei, neben einer genetischen Disposition, der mütterliche Body-Mass-Index, der Lebensstil sowie frühere Schwangerschaften mit Gestationsdiabetes. Die Diagnosestellung erfolgt durch einen 75 g oralen Glukosetoleranztest, meist bei 24–28 Schwangerschaftswochen. Die Folgen für die Mutter sind vor allem die schwangerschaftsinduzierte Hypertonie und Präeklampsie sowie im Verlauf die erhöhte Inzidenz für kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse. Intrapartal zeigen sich zudem eine erhöhte Sectio-Rate bei fetalem Large for gestational age und ein erhöhtes Risiko für höhergradige Geburtsverletzungen und atone Nachblutungen. Die Therapie schließt sowohl die Lifestyle-Modifikation als auch die medikamentöse Therapie mit Insulin ein.Schlussfolgerungen: Durch die frühzeitige Diagnosestellung durch adäquate Testverfahren und konsequent eingeleitete Therapien kann das peripartale maternale und fetale Risiko reduziert werden.
