Introduction and Objective: This secondary analysis of the GO MOMs cohort evaluated associations of first trimester maternal BMI, CGM, OGTT, HbA1c and metabolic measures with newborn adiposity. Methods: At 9 US centers gravidas with singletons and no pre-existing diabetes underwent 75g OGTT, HbA1c, CGM and fasting lipid measures (free fatty acids-FFA; triglycerides-TG) at 10-14 weeks’ gestation. Insulin sensitivity (IS) and beta cell function (βCF) were calculated. Newborn measures at 72 hours of life yielded estimates of fat mass (FM), percent body fat (%BF), and waist/length ratio (WLR). Linear regression models, adjusted for multiple covariates, assessed associations between first trimester exposures and newborn adiposity. Results were stratified by newborn sex if interaction terms were significant. Results: 1555 (71%) participants had complete measures. In adjusted regression models (Table), for BMI higher by 1 SD, newborn FM was higher by 26g, %BF by 0.54%, and WLR by 0.61. Similarly, for fasting glucose higher by 1 SD, FM was higher by 18.5g, %BF by 0.37%, and WLR by 0.36. Nocturnal and 24hr mean CGM glucose were positively associated with FM and %BF. HbA1c was positively associated with WLR and, in females, FM. IS, βCF, FFA and TG were not associated with any adiposity measure. Conclusion: First-trimester maternal BMI, fasting glucose, CGM-measured glycemia, and HbA1c were positively associated with higher measures of newborn adiposity. Disclosure K. Vesco: None. F.L.
