Key Points Question Which gestational weight gain (GWG) guideline for Chinese women is associated with preferred nutritional outcomes among their offspring: Chinese Nutrition Society (CNS) 2021 or US National Academy of Medicine (NAM) 2009 guidelines? Findings In this cohort study, compared with the NAM guidelines, GWG concordant with the CNS 2021 guidelines was associated with a lower prevalence of macrosomia, obesity, and high fat mass at ages 3 to 5 years in this cohort of Chinese women and offspring. There was no increase in undernutrition. Meaning These findings suggest that the GWG recommendations of CNS 2021 may be more suitable for Chinese women than the NAM guidelines.
