Meanings of postnatal weight in English

However, the exact timing of adverse rapid postnatal weight gain is unclear.

Background: Rapid early postnatal weight gain predicts increased subsequent obesity and related disease risks.

Both prenatal and postnatal factors may influence infant energy intake and postnatal weight gain.

These carriers show significantly reduced postnatal weight and BMI.

Objective: We investigated the association of birth weight and postnatal weight gain with hypertension among Chinese children.

Conclusions: Among formula- or mixed-fed infants, dietary energy intake at age 4 months predicted postnatal weight gain and childhood obesity risk.

Background: It is hypothesized that a physiological predisposition toward hypertension results from a combination of intrauterine growth restriction or overgrowth and excessive postnatal weight gain.

Postnatal weight gain was positively associated with hypertension and the association did not significantly vary by birth size for gestational age.

Postnatal weight gain was defined as changes in z scores from birth to 3 to younger than 4 y …
