Risk factors and outcomes of maternal obesity and excessive weight gain during pregnancy

The prevalence of overweight and obesity among women of reproductive age is increasing. We aimed to determine risk factors and maternal, fetal and childhood consequences of maternal obesity and excessive gestational weight gain.
