Maternal insulin resistance in pregnancy linked to higher abdominal fat in daughters

Girls whose mothers had high insulin resistance during late pregnancy tend to carry more belly fat by age 7. Researchers found this link didn't apply to boys, suggesting girls may be more vulnerable to their mother's insulin resistance in the womb. This matters because excess abdominal fat in childhood is linked to health problems later in life.
