1. Being Born Large for Gestational Age : Metabolic and Epidemiological Studies
Sammanfattning : Obesity is a major health problem in the Western world. Mean birth weight has increased during the last 25 years. One explanation is that the proportion of large for gestational age (LGA) infants has increased. Such infants risk developing obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes later in life. LÄS MER
2. Pregnancies complicated by obesity : focus on stillbirth and infants born large for gestational age
Sammanfattning : Background: The prevalence of obesity has increased globally and reached pandemic levels. Obesity is associated with increased risks of complications during conception, pregnancy and delivery as well as during the postpartum period. LÄS MER

4. Ultrasound prediction of large fetuses. Epidemiological and clinical investigations
Sammanfattning : The proportions of newborns with a birth weight (BW) >4,000 g and of macrosomic newborns (BW >4,500 g) have increased during the last two decades, parallel with an increasing maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and age at the time for pregnancy. Delivery of a large fetus, especially >4,500 g might cause perinatal complications for both the mother and her child. LÄS MER
