Obesity, Physical Activity, Diet

These investigators painstakingly collated individual-level data from 37 pregnancy and birth cohort studies from Europe, North America, and Australia, comprising 162,129 mothers and their children, in order to identify the optimal levels gestational weight gain in relation to risk of offspring obesity.
