The association of a low glycaemic index diet in pregnancy with child body composition at 5 years of age: A secondary analysis of the<scp>ROLO</scp>study

Abstract

Our study found no evidence that a low glycaemic index diet in pregnancy impacts offspring anthropometry 5 years' post-intervention. Therefore, modulating maternal carbohydrate quality in pregnancy may not be an appropriate approach to improving weight status in childhood. Future research should investigate the impact of other dietary practices in pregnancy on child health.
