OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of childbearing with weight and waist circumference ( WC) changes, we compared women with and without pregnancies or births during follow-up.STUDY DESIGN: A multicenter, longitudinal observational study over 10 years. Comparison groups defined by the number of pregnancies and births during follow-up: P0 ( 0 pregnancies; nongravid), P1 ( 1+ miscarriages or abortions; 'short' pregnancies), B1 ( 1 birth), and B2 (2+ births). Mean changes in weight and WC for P1, B1 and B2 groups vs P0 were examined separately by race ( black and white), baseline parity ( nulliparous and parous) and baseline weight status ( normal weight; BMI = 25 kg/m(2)).SUBJECTS: A population-based sample of 2070 women aged 18 - 30 y at baseline (1053 black subjects and 1017 white subjects) from Birmingham, Alabama, Chicago, Illinois, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Oakland, California were examined five times between 1985 - 1986 and 1995 - 1996.MEASURMENTS: Weight and WC measurements were obtained using standardized protocol at baseline and examinations at years 2, 5, 7 and 10. Sociodemographic, reproductive, and behavioral attributes were assessed at baseline and follow-up examinations.RESULTS: Gains in weight and WC associated with pregnancy and childbearing varied by race ( P
