Maternal GDM was a risk factor of childhood overweight/obesity at both 5.9 and 8.3 years of age, which was independent from several important confounders including maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, gestational weight gain, children's birth weight and lifestyle factors. This significant and positive association became stronger with age.
