1. In this cohort study, higher maternal prenatal body mass index was associated with worse neurocognitive development in offspring.
2. Children born to women with higher maternal weight status should be followed closely for neurodevelopmental and behavioral concerns and referred appropriately for early intervention and support.

1. Weight loss surgery was associated with significant improvement in both macrovascular and microvascular function across subgroups of sex, race, and metabolic syndrome in addition to effective weight loss.
2. Variation in vascular response to bariatric intervention across subgroups underscores heterogeneity in physiological responses to weight loss and potential activation...
1. Tai Chi was shown to be as effective as conventional exercise in reducing waist circumference in adults with central obesity.
2. A 12-week Tai Chi program maintained long-term patient weight loss with further benefits in mitigating reductions in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels.

1. Among obese and overweight pregnant women, risk of early childhood obesity was not reduced by maternal dietary and lifestyle interventions during pregnancy.
Evidence Rating Level: 3 (Average)
It is well-known that maternal obesity increases the risk of childhood obesity and that dietary interventions during pregnancy can reduce gestational weight gain....
