Abstract
Objective: Pre-pregnancy weight and excess weight gain during pregnancy were associated with obstetric outcomes and plasma leptin was reported to have association with postpartum weight retention. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between pregnancy related factors including plasma leptin and weight gain during pregnancy and postpartum weight retention. Methods: Seventy-five women were observed through pregnancy and 6 months postpartum. First trimester, third trimester and postpartum leptin were measured by radioimmunoassay. Weight gain categories were based on the Institute of Medicine recommendations. Relationships between pregnancy related factors and leptin were examined. And relationship between leptin and postpartum weight retention was also examined. Results: Among subjects, 44.0% of women had concerns for postpartum weight retention and 18.9% had diet controls for postpartum weight management. Initial BMI categories by IOM classification were underweight, 29 (38.7%), normal, 37 (49.3%), and overweight group, 9 (12.0%). Underweight group was largely below IOM weight gain recommendation and overweight group was largely over IOM weight gain recommendation (P=0.013). First trimester leptin was correlated with pregravid BMI (r=0.678, P=0.000), maternal weight at term (r=0.547, P=0.006) and postpartum BMI (r=0.608, P=0.002), but not correlated with weight gain during pregnancy and postpartum weight retention. Third trimester leptin was not correlated with above variables. Initial BMI categories by IOM were significantly correlated with first trimester leptin, leptin at 5 weeks postpartum, maternal weight at term (0.741, P=0.000), weight at 5 weeks postpartum (r=0.728, P=0.001) and weight at 6 months postpartum (r=0.684, P=0.002). Conclusion: These results suggest that first trimester plasma leptin may predict maternal weight at term and initial BMI categories may be a predictor of maternal weight at 5 weeks postpartum and 6 months postpartum. However, weight gain during pregnancy was not correlated with postpartum weight retention.
