  abstract = {{B}ackground {A}ccording to the {D}evelopmental {O}rigins of {H}ealth and {D}iseases concept, exposures in the preconception period may be critical. {F}or the first time, we evaluated the effect of preconception poor anthropometric status on infant's growth in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica. {M}ethods {A} mother-child cohort was followed prospectively from preconception to 1 year old in {B}enin. {M}aternal anthropometric status was assessed by prepregnancy body mass index ({BMI}), approximated by {BMI} at the first antenatal visit before 7 weeks' gestation, and gestational weight gain ({GWG}). {BMI} was categorized as underweight, normal, overweight, and obesity according to {W}orld {H}ealth {O}rganization standards. {GWG} was categorized as low (<7 kg), mild (7-12 kg), and high (>12 kg). {I}n infant, stunting and wasting were defined as length-for-age and weight-for-length z scores less than -2 {SD}, respectively. {W}e evaluated the association between {BMI}/{GWG} and infant's weight and length at birth and during the first year of life, as well as with stunting and wasting at 12 months using mixed linear and logistic regression models. {R}esults {I}n multivariate, preconceptional underweight was associated with a lower infant's weight at birth and during the first year (-164 g; 95% {CI}, -307 to -22; and -342 g; 95% {CI}, -624 to -61, respectively) and with a higher risk of stunting at 12 months (adjusted odds ratio [a{OR}] = 3.98; 95% {CI}, 1.01-15.85). {F}urthermore, preconceptional obesity and a high {GWG} were associated with a higher weight and length at birth and during the first year. {C}onclusion {U}nderweight and obesity before conception as well as {GWG} were associated with infant's growth. {T}hese results argue for preventive interventions starting as early as the preconception period to support child long-term health.},
