Maternal prepregnancy body mass index and psychomotor development in childrenYasmin H Neggers
Department of Human Nutrition, University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, AL, USA
Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 82:235-40. 2003..We hypothesized that low maternal body mass index (BMI) would predict worse neurodevelopmental status in children, while higher maternal BMIs would be associated with better neurodevelopmental outcomes...
Some thoughts on body mass index, micronutrient intakes and pregnancy outcomeYasmin Neggers
