Twelve studies with a combined population of 180 065 subjects were included in the meta-analysis. The overall analysis (N = 19) yielded a combined risk estimate for overweight/obesity of 1.19 (95% CI, 1.08-1.30) and the test of heterogeneity resulted into Q = 57.44 ( I2 = 68.67%, P ≤ .001). The risk of offspring obesity is 1.23 (95% CI, 1.09-1.39) and the test of heterogeneity resulted into Q = 39.55 ( I2 = 69.66%, P ≤ .001). Children born by cesarean section have an increased risk of obesity in adulthood.
