Background: No studies have used objective methods to assess the association between maternal smoking and body composition in offspring. Study design: A cross-sectional study Methods: A total of 2508 school children of grade 4 were enrolled; all underwent lifestyle disease and passive smoking screening. Children were classified into four groups according to their urinary cotinine level and maternal smoking status during or before pregnancy. Items measured by lifestyle disease screening were compared among the four groups. Results: Only degree of obesity (DO) and body mass index (BMI) were significantly associated with maternal smoking during pregnancy. The prevalence of both DO greater than 20 and 30%, and BMI greater than 22 and 25% was highest in children of mothers who smoked during pregnancy. These children have a tendency of shorter height and increased weight although it was not statistically significant. There were no significant differences between maternal smoking status and lipid profile among groups. Confounders such as food, exercise and sleep could be eliminated Conclusion: Maternal smoking during pregnancy may be an independent risk factor of changing body composition in offspring. This change is considered to be due to shorter height and increased weight. |
