Maternal hyperandrogenism is associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and overweight in adolescent and adult female offspring: a long-term population-based follow-up study

Purpose Adverse intrauterine environment may predispose offspring to cardio-metabolic dysfunction in later life. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of maternal hyperandrogenism (MH) on cardio-metabolic risk factors in female offspring in later life. Methods This prospective populatio...

Description
Summary:Purpose Adverse intrauterine environment may predispose offspring to cardio-metabolic dysfunction in later life. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of maternal hyperandrogenism (MH) on cardio-metabolic risk factors in female offspring in later life. Methods This prospective population-based study included 211 female offspring with MH and 757 female offspring without MH (controls). Both groups were followed from baseline to the date of incidence of events, censoring, or end of the study period, whichever came first. Age scaled unadjusted and adjusted cox regression models were applied to assess the hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association of MH with pre-diabetes (pre-DM), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), overweight and obesity in offspring of both groups. Statistical analysis was performed using the software package STATA; significance level was set at P
