Children with congenital hypothyroidism are at risk of adult obesity due to early adiposity rebound.
There is some evidence that children with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) are heavier than their reference population. There are few data on adults with CH. The timing of adiposity rebound (AR) in childhood has been shown to have strong correlations with adult obesity. Our aims were to study the timing of AR and factors affecting AR in children with CH.The timing of AR was examined in a retrospective study of children with CH with growth data at least up to 5 years of age.
Alcohol and Pregnancy
Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can be harmful to you and your growing baby. Thus, the best course is not to drink at all during pregnancy.
Protect Your Baby
Some things — such as alcohol — can harm your baby’s health. The degree of harm depends on the amount of alcohol you drink, how often you drink, and when in pregnancy you drank alcohol. Early pregnancy, when many of the baby’s organs are forming, is a time to be extra careful.
Alcohol quickly reaches the fetus through your bloodstream. It crosses the placenta to the baby.
