Epidemiology/Population Maternal Parity, Fetal and Childhood Growth, and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors Romy Gaillard, Akashi A. Rurangirwa, Michelle A. Williams, Albert Hofman, Johan P. Mackenbach, Oscar H. Franco, Eric A.P. Steegers, Vincent W.V. Jaddoe Abstract—We examined the associations of maternal parity with fetal and childhood growth characteristics and childhood cardiometabolic risk factors in a population-based prospective cohort study among 9031 mothers and their children. Fetal and childhood growth were repeatedly measured. We measured childhood anthropometrics, body fat distribution, left ventricular mass, blood pressure, blood lipids, and insulin levels at the age of 6 years. Compared with nulliparous mothers, multiparous mothers had children with higher third trimester fetal head circumference, length and weight growth, and lower risks of preterm birth and small-size-for-gestational-age at birth but a higher risk of large-size-for-gestational-age at birth (P
