We investigated the association between birth weight of offspring and obesity and cardiovascular risk in the parents of 477 8-year-old children born at the King Edward Memorial Hospital, Pune, India. Eight years after the birth of the child, mothers (33 years of age, n = 459) of heavier babies were taller and more obese (BMI, fat mass, and waist circumference, all P &amp;lt; 0.001) than mothers of lighter babies. Increasing offspring birth weight predicted higher homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (P &amp;lt; 0.01) and metabolic syndrome in mothers (P &amp;lt; 0.001) (adjusted for offspring sex and birth order, maternal age, and socioeconomic status) but not hyperglycemia. Fathers (39 years of age, n = 398) of heavier babies were taller and heavier, independent of maternal size (P &amp;lt; 0.01, both), but were not more insulin resistant. Unlike other reports, lower offspring birth weight did not predict insulin resistance in fathers. Thus, urban Indian parents have a higher risk of being obese 8 years after delivery of a heavier child. Mothers but not fathers of heavier babies also have a higher risk of being insulin resistant and developing the metabolic syndrome. Our findings highlight the need for a better understanding of the relation between fetal growth and future health before contemplating public health interventions to improve fetal growth.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2337\/diabetes.52.8.2090","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,6]],"date-time":"2007-03-06T19:04:22Z","timestamp":1173207862000},"page":"2090-2096","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.2337\/ada-journal-policies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Higher Offspring Birth Weight Predicts the Metabolic Syndrome in Mothers but Not Fathers 8 Years After Delivery"],"prefix":"10.2337","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Chittaranjan S.","family":"Yajnik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Diabetes Unit, King Edward Memorial Hospital and Research Centre, Pune, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charu V.","family":"Joglekar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diabetes Unit, King Edward Memorial Hospital and Research Centre, Pune, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anand N.","family":"Pandit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, King Edward Memorial Hospital and Research Centre, Pune, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ashish R.","family":"Bavdekar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, King Edward Memorial Hospital and Research Centre, Pune, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Swati A.","family":"Bapat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, King Edward Memorial Hospital and Research Centre, Pune, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sheila A.","family":"Bhave","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, King Edward Memorial Hospital and Research Centre, Pune, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samantha D.","family":"Leary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Council, Environmental Epidemiology Unit, Southampton, U.K"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caroline H.D.","family":"Fall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Council, Environmental Epidemiology Unit, Southampton, U.K"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1167","reference":[{"key":"2022031209080671900_R1","unstructured":"Barker DJP: Mothers, Babies, and Health in Later Life. 2nd ed.
