Mother Infant Nutrition Study
Summary
Early life influences (including the intrauterine environment, birth weight, and early postnatal growth) shape subsequent weight trajectories and future chronic disease risk. The MINT study will evaluate whether maternal fat mass changes are associated with specific maternal weight trajectories during pregnancy, and with neonatal adiposity at birth. The study is a prospective observational cohort currently enrolling women in early pregnancy,and following mothers and infants after birth.
Description
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations were established with limited evidence showing how the pattern of weight gain is associated with short-and long-term health of mothers and their children. Previous studies evaluated the impact of overall gestational weight gain pattern across gestation using latent class analysis and others have evaluated maternal weight change pattern—by trimester or early/late pregnancy—on offspring size and adiposity. However, it remains unclear if there are weight gain trajectories or specific periods of weight gain that are associated with greater adiposity in offspring, and whether effects persist across the life course.
The MINT study will expand our understanding of determinants that are influencing maternal weight trajectories, including race/ethnicity, prepregnancy BMI and parity. Although many factors are well-established determinants of pregnancy weight gain, such as prepregnancy BMI and parity, there is limited understanding of whether these factors and others, such as maternal diet, race, psychosocial health or socio-economic status, influence the overall pattern of pregnancy weight gain and the IOM has called for research in this area. This knowledge is essential for providing personalized clinical recommendations for weight gain monitoring and to develop interventions to support healthy weight gain that optimizes health outcomes for mother and child.
This study is an observational, prospective cohort design, and will recruit up to 60 volunteers with singleton gestations of BMI 18.5-35. The mothers' will be assessed at 14-15, 24-25, and 35 weeks of pregnancy, and at 6 weeks post-delivery. The measurements will include anthropometry (weight, height, circumferences, and skin fold thicknesses), and whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The infants' measurements will be anthropometry at birth (2-3 days), and approximately 1 and 6 weeks. Infants will also undergo air displacement plethysmography (PeaPod) at approximately 1 week and 6 weeks. Biospecimen samples will be collected, including: maternal serum, plasma, urine, microbiome, breastmilk, placenta, umbilical cord and cord blood, infant meconium and stool. Data will be collected regarding mothers' dietary intake and physical activity (questionnaires and accelerometry). Other data to be collected include questionnaires on quality of life, socio-economic status, health behaviors and intentions. If the woman identifies a partner, the partner will be invited to complete questionnaires on health, health behaviors and anthropometry measures.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Observational Study
A work that reports on the results of a clinical study in which participants may receive diagnostic, therapeutic, or other types of interventions, but the investigator does not assign participants to specific interventions (as in an interventional study).
Clinical Study
A work that reports on the results of a research study to evaluate interventions or exposures on biomedical or health-related outcomes. The two main types of clinical studies are interventional studies (clinical trials) and observational studies. While most clinical studies concern humans, this publication type may be used for clinical veterinary articles meeting the requisites for humans.
Observational Studies As Topic
Works about clinical studies in which participants may receive diagnostic, therapeutic, or other types of interventions, but the investigator does not assign participants to specific interventions (as in an interventional study).
Pregnancy Proteins
Proteins produced by organs of the mother or the PLACENTA during PREGNANCY. These proteins may be pregnancy-specific (present only during pregnancy) or pregnancy-associated (present during pregnancy or under other conditions such as hormone therapy or certain malignancies.)
Diagnostic Techniques, Obstetrical And Gynecological
Methods and procedures for the diagnosis of conditions related to pregnancy, labor, and the puerperium and of diseases of the female genitalia. It includes also demonstration of genital and pregnancy physiology.
