C-Sections May Increase Risk of Obesity
A large new study by Harvard Public Health researchers discovered individuals born by cesarean delivery were 15 percent more likely to become obese as children than individuals born by vaginal birth.Investigators found the increased risk may persist through adulthood, and individuals born via cesarean delivery were 64 percent more likely to be obese than their siblings born by vaginal birth.The study appears online in JAMA Pediatrics.

Importance Cesarean birth has been associated with higher risk of obesity in offspring, but previous studies have focused primarily on childhood obesity and have been hampered by limited control for confounders.Objective To investigate the association between cesarean birth and risk of obesity in offspring.Design, Setting, and Participants A prospective cohort study was conducted from September 1, 1996, to December 31, 2012, among participants of the Growing Up Today Study, including 22 068 offspring born to 15 271 women, followed up via questionnaire from ages 9 to 14 through ages 20 to 28 years.

Action Points Note that this observational study of children born to mothers in the Nurse's Health Study found a link between cesarean birth and obesity in later life.Be aware that some potentially important confounders, such as the indication for c-section, were not captured.Children born via cesarean section had a greater risk of being obese later in life compared with children born vaginally, according to a prospective cohort study published online in JAMA Pediatrics.
