Such an association has not been fully explored. This longitudinal study examines the changes in maternal anthropometric indices during pregnancy and postpartum. Seventy-seven pregnant subjects were investigated longitudinally at about 13, 25 and 36 weeks gestation, of whom forty-seven continued taking part into the postpartum period. Maternal weight, height and skinfold thickness (triceps, biceps, subscapular, suprailiac and mid thigh) were measured at each visit. Maternal fat mass was estimated from the conversion of the first four skinfold thicknesses. Maternal waist and hip circumferences were also measured at the first visit and 6 weeks and 6 months postpartum. Weight and fat gain during pregnancy (13\u201336 weeks gestation) was 10\u00b79 (SD 4\u00b77) KG AND 4\u00b76 (sd 3\u00b73) kg (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0\u00b7001) respectively. A significant increase in fat mass from 13 weeks gestation to 6-months postpartum was observed (2\u00b76 (sd 4\u00b75),<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0\u00b7001). The increased weight at 6-months postpartum, however, was not statistically significant (1\u00b71 (sd 6\u00b70) kg,<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>= 0\u00b720). Based on BMI in early pregnancy, the subjects were divided into groups of underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese. The last three groups were compared using ANOVA. The obese group showed a significant difference in the pattern of changes in the skinfold thickness, waist: hip ratio and fat mass at the postpartum period, in comparison with the other two groups. In conclusion, there is a tendency in the obese group to develop central obesity at the postpartum period.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007114500001276","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,3]],"date-time":"2010-03-03T10:05:35Z","timestamp":1267610735000},"page":"95-101","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":114,"title":["A longitudinal study of maternal anthropometric changes in normal weight, overweight and obese women during pregnancy and postpartum"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"84","author":[{"given":"Hora","family":"Soltani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert B.","family":"Fraser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0007114500001276_ref024","volume-title":"Report on a WHO Consultation on the Epidemiology of Obesity: Measuring Obesity-classification and Description of Anthropometric Data","year":"1987"},{"key":"S0007114500001276_ref023","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/49.5.765"},{"key":"S0007114500001276_ref022","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/48.1.24"},{"key":"S0007114500001276_ref021","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/BJN19670045"},{"key":"S0007114500001276_ref020","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1997.03550130052036"},{"key":"S0007114500001276_ref019","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4899-1268-8_41"},{"key":"S0007114500001276_ref017","first-page":"239","volume-title":"Advances in Biological and Medical Physics,","author":"Siri","year":"1956"},{"key":"S0007114500001276_ref011","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"785","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00429101","article-title":"Relationship of glucose intolerance and hyperinsulinaemia to body fat patterns in south Asians and Europeans","volume":"35","author":"McKeigue","year":"1992","journal-title":"Diabetologia"},{"key":"S0007114500001276_ref007","volume-title":"Nutrition During Pregnancy: Weight Gain and Nutrient Supplement","year":"1990"},{"key":"S0007114500001276_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(87)91556-X"},{"key":"S0007114500001276_ref001","volume-title":"Health of the Nation.
