Abstract

The first objective of this thesis was to examine the hypothesis that maternal early-pregnancy glucose concentrations are associated with adverse fetal, pregnancy, birth and child cardio-metabolic outcomes. Also, as second objective, we studied potential determinants of a specific outcome, childhood liver fat, as well as the cardio-metabolic consequences of childhood liver fat
