The relation in Pima Indians between obesity in children and diabetes during pregnancy in their mothers was studied. Of 49 women who had diabetes during pregnancy, 68 children had a higher prevalence of obesity than 541 children of 134 women who subsequently had diabetes (prediabetics) or than 1326 children of 446 women who remained nondiabetic. At 15-19 yr of age, 58% of the offspring of diabetics weighed 140% or more of their desirable weight, as compared with 17% of the offspring of nondiabetics and 25% of those of prediabetics (P < 0.001). Obesity in the offspring was directly related to maternal diabetes, since the association was not substantially confounded by maternal obesity. The findings strongly suggest that the prenatal environment of the offspring of diabetic women results in the development of obesity in childhood and early adulthood.
