This study covered an intergenerational retrospective cohort of 26,561 Swedish mothers and their 26,561 first-born daughters. There was a 4-fold increase in obesity rates, which rose from 3.1% among women entering pregnancy in 1982\u20131988 to 12.3% among their daughters in 2000\u20132008 (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001) when entering pregnancy. The greater the maternal BMI, the greater the odds of overweight and\/or obesity among daughters. Underweight mothers had half the odds of having an overweight or obese daughter in comparison to mothers of normal BMI (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). In contrast, the odds ratio of obese mothers having obese daughters was 3.94 (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). This study showed a strong association between maternal obesity and the risk of obesity among their first-born daughters. In addition, we observed a considerable increase in obesity rates across generations in mother-daughter pairs of Swedish women entering pregnancy. Thus, it is important to have preventative strategies in place to halt the worsening intergenerational cycle of obesity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/srep16692","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,13]],"date-time":"2015-11-13T10:33:24Z","timestamp":1447410804000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Obesity rates in two generations of Swedish women entering pregnancy and associated obesity risk among adult daughters"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Jos\u00e9 G.
