About

The overall aim is to provide a detailed description of growth, development and risk factors for later disease, especially obesity and metabolic disease in infants born by obese mothers and to compare them with a group of infants born by mothers without any restriction in prepregnancy BMI (SKOT I).

Full description

The SKOT II is a prospective cohort study that includes children of obese mothers with a body mass index over 30 kg/m2. These mothers were invited to SKOT II while participating in a randomised study at Hvidovre Hospital, Copenhagen. The families were invited to three examinations, when the children were 9, 18 and 36 months of age. A total of 184 children were included in 2010. The examinations and the collecting of data are designed in the same way as SKOT I, a study of healthy children born by non-obese mother. The examinations takes place at Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, Frederiksberg, Denmark. Following data were collected during the examinations: Anthropometry (weight, height, age- and sex specific Z scores for body composition, triceps- and subscapularis skinfolds), background interview (e.g. infant feeding, household income, the parent's educational level, allergy and chronic diseases), blood pressure (systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure), faeces- and urine samples, blood samples (at 9 and 36 months of age), bio impedance (at 36 months of age), 4 day diet registration, general questionnaire (e.g. sleep, daycare, attendance and use of screen devices), psychomotor questionnaire (motoric development) and 7 day physical activity monitoring (at 36 months of age).
