Increased Visceral Adipose Tissue Without Weight Retention at 59 Weeks Postpartum

Objective This study aimed to determine whether controlling maternal gestational weight gain (GWG) influences adipose tissue distribution at 1 year postpartum. Methods Women with overweight or obesity ( n = 210, BMI ≥ 25 or ≥ 30) were randomized to a lifestyle intervention (LI) designed to control GWG or to usual obstetrical care (UC).
