Appetite hormones have been investigated in relation to fat accumulation in adults, but little is known about the association between cord blood levels of these hormones and obesity-related outcomes in early childhood.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n To examine whether cord blood appetite hormone levels are associated with early-life growth trajectories and childhood adiposity.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design, Setting, and Participants<\/jats:title>\n This prospective birth cohort study was conducted within the Environmental Influence on Early Aging (ENVIRONAGE) birth cohort, with follow-up data collected at 4 to 6 years of age. The study includes children from a population-based cohort in Belgium recruited between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2016, with available cord blood appetite hormone levels and participating in follow-up visits.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Exposures<\/jats:title>\n Cord blood levels of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY), pancreatic polypeptide (PP), and leptin.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n \n Adiposity peak, anthropometric measures at 4 to 6 years of age (waist to height ratio and body mass index\n z<\/jats:italic>\n score), and rapid growth and slow growth from birth to 6, 12, and 24 months.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 325 children (median [IQR] age, 4.49 [4.04-4.95] years; 151 [46.5%] male) were studied. Analyses were performed in 2 subgroups based on availability of appetite hormones: 226 children with cord blood PP and leptin (median [IQR] age at follow-up, 4.5 [4.3-4.7] years; 108 [47.8%] male) and 229 children with cord blood PYY and GLP-1 (median [IQR] age at follow-up, 4.5 [4.3-4.8] years; 98 [42.8%] male). PYY levels were positively associated with the adiposity peak (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.14; 95% CI, 0.01-0.27). PYY and PP levels were associated with an higher risk of rapid growth in the first 2 years of life (odds ratio [OR], 1.71; 95% CI, 1.03-2.84; OR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.21-2.27, respectively). Leptin levels showed an inverse association with rapid growth (OR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.27-0.66). PYY and PP levels were associated with a higher body mass index\n z<\/jats:italic>\n score at 4 to 6 years of age (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.16; 95% CI, 0.04-0.30; \u03b2\u2009=\u20090.17; 95% CI, 0.004-0.34, respectively).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n In this cohort study of 325 children, cord blood appetite hormone levels were associated with early-life growth and adiposity, suggesting that appetite hormones may influence childhood growth and body composition trajectory from birth onward.<\/jats:p>\n
