title: [Hypertrophy of neonates in diabetic mothers and their long-term prognosis].
abstract: Hundred and seventy five infants of diabetic mother born and followed up carefully in the Institute for the Care of Mother and Child were examined at a mean age of 20.75 +/- 4.08 years. The purpose of the investigation was to assess the relationship of hypertrophy of neonates of diabetic mothers to other deviations in neonates and their long-term prognosis. In neonates with a marked degree of hypertrophy the authors recorded significantly more frequently hypoglycaemia, early asphyctic syndrome, impaired respiration and neurological symptoms. Children born as hypertrophic developed equally frequently diabetes (8.7%) as children of diabetic mothers who did not develop hypertrophy (8.0%). Abnormal glucose tolerance was recorded in those with hypertrophy in 6.6%, in the group without hypertrophy in 5.0%. As compared with the offspring of healthy mothers, they suffered significantly more frequently from higher blood sugar levels and higher insulinaemia (sigma C ad sigma I) during the oGTT. The body weight expressed as BMI and systolic blood pressure were also higher than in the control group. None of the investigated indicators in adult age was associated with body weight and the degree of hypertrophy. The development of diabetes is determined more by genetic factors.
