| Research Abstract |
In pregnant women who had been thin before pregnancy, the neonatal body weight was significantly lower than in those with a standard physical status. The daily physical activity level in children was correlated with birth weight. An oral glucose tolerance test was conducted in obese children. In children with a lower birth weight, the insulin resistance value was greater. These results suggest that maternal body-weight reduction related to a desire to be thin among young Japanese women leads to a decrease in the neonatal body weight, reducing the physical activity level during childhood and increasing insulin resistance in school children.
