Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this observational study is to conduct 18-, 24-, and 36-month assessments with mother-toddler dyads who participated in a study that is testing the effects of a multicomponent lifestyle intervention as a means to prevent excessive gestational weight gain in obese women. Specifically, dyads will be invited to participate in home-based assessments to videotape an evening meal, have anthropometric measures taken, and complete study questionnaires. The overall goal is to understand factors related prospectively to responsive feeding between mothers and toddlers at 18 months; determine whether responsive feeding at 18 and 24 months predicts change in zBMI and adiposity from 18-36 months; and explore which factors are most strongly predictive of child zBMI change from birth to 36 months.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Behavioral: Lifestyle Intervention The intervention is a multicomponent program designed to prevent excessive gestational weight gain in obese women through modifications of diet, exercise, and behavioral strategies during pregnancy.
No Intervention: Standard Care

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Responsive feeding [18- and 24-months]
The Responsiveness to Child Feeding Cues Scale will be used to code maternal responsive feeding. Primary outcomes are: a) maternal responsiveness to toddler fullness cues.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Child Weight Status [birth, 6-, 12-, 18-, 24- and 36-months]
zBMI will be computed at each time point
