AB - Objective: Maternal glycaemia and anthropometry-derived newborn adiposity are stronglycorrelated. The children of mothers with diabetes are at greater risk of adverse metabolichealth, and increased adiposity is a plausible mediator. We undertook a systematic review andmeta-analysis to compare adiposity in infants of mothers with (IDM) and without diabetes(NIDM).Design: We identified observational studies reporting adiposity in IDM and NIDM. We searchedreferences, traced forward citations and contacted authors for additional data. We consideredall body composition techniques and compared fat mass, fat-free mass, body fat % and skinfoldthickness. We used random effects meta-analyses and performed subgroup analyses bymaternal diabetes type (type 1, type 2, gestational) and infant sex. We examined the influenceof pre-pregnancy BMI and conducted sensitivity analyses.Results: We included data from 35 papers and over 24,000 infants. IDM have greater fatmass than NIDM (mean difference [95% CI]); 83g [49, 117]. Fat mass is greater in infants ofmothers with gestational diabetes; 62g [29, 94] and type 1 diabetes; 268g [139, 397].Insufficient studies reported data for type 2 diabetes separately. Compared with NIDM, fatmass was greater in IDM boys; 87g [30, 145], but not significantly different in IDM girls; 42g [-33, 116]. There was no attenuation after adjustment for maternal BMI.Conclusions: IDM have significantly greater adiposity in comparison to NIDM. These findingsare justification for studies to determine whether measures to reduce infant adiposity willimprove later health.
