Maternal post-delivery weight in the assessment of obesity
Abstract:
Maternal weight recorded on the day after delivery correlated significantly with maternal skinfold thickness measured at multiple sites. Skinfold thickness probably reflects total body fat stores. It is suggested that the relationship between maternal weight and fetal birth weight may be mediated by the amount of maternal fat available to meet the energy requirements of the growing fetus.
