Overview

Systematic review identifies lifestyle and psychological interventions during pregnancy may reduce obesity risk in children, highlighting the need for further research.

Key Points

  • MAIN FINDING: Maternal interventions have limited effectiveness in preventing childhood obesity and metabolic issues.
  • KEY EVIDENCE: Out of 22 identified studies, only a few reported significant reductions in gestational weight gain and offspring obesity metrics.
  • APPROACH: A systematic literature review was conducted analyzing studies on maternal lifestyle-based and psychological interventions from 1990 to 2023.
  • SIGNIFICANCE: Results indicate a gap in comprehensive research on effective interventions during pregnancy to prevent obesity in offspring.
