Abstract Pregnancy is a critical window for long-term metabolic programming of fetal effects stemming from airborne particulate matter ≤2.5μm (PM 2.5 ) exposure. Yet, little known about PM exposure during and surrounding pregnancy in mothers. We assessed potential windows with maternal adiposity lipid measures later life. included 517 pregnant women the PROGRESS cohort [body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), % body fat] lipids [total cholesterol, high-density-lipoprotein (HDL), low-density-lipoprotein (LDL)] measured repeatedly at 4, 6 8 years post-delivery. Monthly average was estimated each participant’s address using validated spatiotemporal model. employed distributed lag interaction models (DLIMs) adjusting socio-demographics clinical covariates. found that 1 μg/m 3 increase throughout mid-/late-pregnancy associated higher WC 6-years post-delivery, peaking months gestation: 0.04 cm (95%CI: 0.01, 0.06). also identified LDL lower HDL both 4 post-delivery peaks pre-conception [0.17 mg/dL 0.00, 0.34)] 11 th month after conception [-0.07 -0.11, -0.02)]. Stratified analyses by sex indicated stronger associations mothers carrying male, whereas were observed female fetus. deleterious lagged folic acid intake than 600mcg/day pregnancy.
