Objectives: This study examines the gender differences in the association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and later growth in childhood.Design: Ongoing prospective cohort study, which is called 'the Project Koshu', initiated in the foetal stage to the age of 9-10 years.Setting: Koshu City which was in Japanese rural areaParticipants: The study population comprised children born between 1 April 1991 and 31 March 1999 in Koshu City, Japan, and their mothers. Maternal smoking during early pregnancy was the exposure studied.Main outcome measures: Childhood body mass index (BMI) and BMI z-score trajectories of the children born to the smoking and non-smoking mothers by gender. Multilevel analysis that includes both individual and age as different-level variables was used for statistical analyses.Results: The participating mothers delivered 1619 babies during the study period. Birth weight and anthropometric data were collected from 1603 (at birth, 99.0%), 1358 (at age 3, 83.9%), 1248 (at age 5, 77.1%), 1270 (at age 7-8, 78.4%) and 1274 (at age 9-10, 78.7%) of these children. The mean birth weight of both the male and female children whose mothers had smoked during pregnancy was significantly low compared with those born to non-smoking mothers (P
