Summary
0-hypothesis: the tissue composition of newborn infants is not modified by lifestyle intervention during pregnancy
Detailed description
Obese pregnant women (BMI \> 30) are randomized to exercise, diet or control (1:1:1) in order to reduce weight gain during pregnancy. Shortly after birth, tissue composition will be measured (DEXA)in 200 infants (65 from each group). The amount of fat tissue is subsequently analyzed between the groups and compared to results from another 65 infants of lean mothers
