abstract = {Background: Pregnancy has been identified as a window for childhood obesity prevention.
Although lifestyle interventions in pregnancy can prevent excessive gestational
weight gain (GWG), little is known whether such interventions also affect
infant growth and body composition.
Objectives: To investigate (i) the effects of a 6-month lifestyle intervention (the
HealthyMoms app) on infant body composition 1–2 weeks postpartum, and
(ii) whether a potential intervention effect on infant body composition is mediated
through maternal GWG.
Methods: This is a secondary outcome analysis of the HealthyMoms randomized
controlled trial. Air-displacement plethysmography was used to measure body composition
in 305 healthy full-term infants.
Results: We observed no statistically significant effect on infant weight (β =  0.004,
p = 0.94), length (β =  0.19, p = 0.46), body fat percentage (β = 0.17, p = 0.72), or any
of the other body composition variables in the multiple regression models (all p ≥ 0.27).
Moreover,we observed nomediation effect through GWG on infant body composition.
Conclusions: Our findings support that HealthyMoms may be implemented in
healthcare to promote a healthy lifestyle in pregnant women without compromising
offspring growth. Further research is required to elucidate whether lifestyle interventions
in pregnancy also may result in beneficial effects on infant body composition
and impact future obesity risk.},
