Brief summary

The study is a follow-up of a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) performed in 2007-10 - the Lifestyle in Pregnancy LiP study. The LiP study included 360 pregnant women with BMI ≥30 kg/m2 from Odense University Hospital and Aarhus University Hospital. The women were randomized to intervention with low-calorie diet and physical activity from gestational age 10-14 in pregnancy and until delivery - or to a standard care control group. The objective of the LiPO-Teen project is to perform a clinical follow-up study of the eligible 301 mothers who completed the trial until delivery with a liveborn child, and their 14 year-old offspring. The overall ambition is to understand whether lifestyle intervention in pregnancy prevents obesity and its complications across generations, with a specific focus on modifiable factors.

Detailed description

LiPO Teen (the Lifestyle in Pregnancy and Offspring Teenagers): Identification of modifiable risk factors for childhood obesity - a follow-up of a randomized controlled trial. The objective of the LiPO-Teen project is to perform a clinical follow-up study of the eligible 301 mothers who completed the trial until delivery with a liveborn child, and their 14 year-old offspring. In the original trial women were randomized 1:1 to intervention or control. The participants (both mother and child in pair) who completed the initial LiP study will be invited to a 2-hour examination now 14 years after the intervention during pregnancy to evaluate the effect of the intervention on both mother and child long term.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Fat mass index , measured by DEXA scan.2 years data collectionBody composition Assessed by Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA). Hologic Horizon, serie number: 301872M. Fat mass, lean mass and bone density will be calculated. Fat mass index in both mothers and offspring (Fat mass index (FMI) defined as: FM (kg) / height (m)2).

Secondary

Selenium2 years data collectionBlood sample: Selenium
Zinc.2 years data collectionBlood sample: Zinc
C-peptide2 years data collectionBlood sample: C-peptid
Leptin2 years data collectionBlood sample: Leptin
Adiponectin2 years data collectionBlood sample: Adiponectin.
HsCRP.2 years data collectionBlood sample: HsCRP.
IL62 years data collectionBlood sample: IL6
Ferritin2 years data collectionBlood sample: Ferritin
Leukocytes2 years data collectionBlood sample: Leukocytes
Kidney function (e-GFR)2 years data collectionBlood sample: Kidney function (e-GFR)
Liver enzymes2 years data collectionBlood sample: Liver enzymes
Vitamin D2 years data collectionBlood sample: Vitamin D
Mental health2 years data collectionAssessed by questionnaires, validated to mother and child respectively
Diet composition2 years data collectionAssessed by FFQ (food frequency questionnaire), validated to mother and child respectively
Physical activity (PA)2 years data collectionPattern and level of PA will be measured 7 days (24/7) monitored by activity tracker on the wrist (Actigraph GT3X+).
Puberty stage2 years data collectionAccording to the classifications of Marshall and Tanner
Blood pressure2 years data collectionStandardized sitting measurement, average of 3 measures. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be measured.
Epigenetic examinations2 years data collectionBlood samples: The epigenetic profile of DNA samples extracted from whole blood will be characterized by Genome-wide DNA methylation using Infinium MethylationEPIC v2.0 Kit. Principle component and hierarchical clustering analyses will be used to identify associations between methylation patterns and a range of clinical characteristics, biomarkers as well as gene expression levels (RNAseq).
Metabolic and inflammatory markers2 years data collectionBlood samples: Glucose
HbA1c2 years data collectionBlood samples: HbA1c
Metabolic markers2 years data collectionBlood samples: Lipids (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride)
Electrolytes2 years data collectionBlood sample: Electrolytes
Insulin2 years data collectionBlood sample: Insulin
Glycemic variability2 years data collectionContinuous glucose monitoring (CGM, DEXCOM G6Pro): 10 days recording of fasting glucose and postprandial glucose values. Glucose variability will be assessed using a device, which performs repeated glucose measurements in the skin providing insights into glucose fluctuations throughout the day and night.
