Reuters - The weight of the mother before
pregnancy, as well as additional weight gained during
pregnancy, are often excessive and blood sugar abnormalities
are common, in women of Mexican descent who are living in the
U.S., researchers report. These factors help explain the high
infant birth weights seen in this group, according to the study
findings published in American Journal of Public Health. |
