The research showed that 2-year-old children whose mothers had been diagnosed with gestational diabetes exhibited poorer language skills compared to children whose mothers had not been diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
The research project examined the development of children’s cognitive, language, and motor skills. Maternal adiposity was determined by air displacement plethysmography and gestational diabetes with an oral glucose tolerance test. Dietary intake during pregnancy was assessed with diet quality index and fish consumption questionnaires.
“Our observation is unique, as previous studies have not examined the association between maternal body composition and children’s neurodevelopment,” notes Saros.
