| Research Abstract |
It has been suggested that there was the association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and childhood obesity. Moreover, gender difference of the association has been also suggested. In this study, we clarified that the effect of maternal smoking during pregnancy on childhood growth was similar to the effect of maternal obesity before pregnancy by using the data from birth cohort study in Japanese rural area. In addition, maternal smoking cessation before and during pregnancy would improve the adverse effect of maternal smoking during pregnancy on fetal and childhood growth.
