Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the association of the ADRB2 rs1042713 and rs1042714 polymorphisms with maternal adiposity indicators, including pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), current BMI, gestational weight gain (GWG), and postpartum weight retention (PPWR).
To evaluate the association of the ADRB2 rs1042713 and rs1042714 polymorphisms with maternal adiposity indicators, including pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), current BMI, gestational weight gain (GWG), and postpartum weight retention (PPWR).
Methods
A cross-sectional study was carried out at a University Hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from March 2024 to May 2025. Participants were adult postpartum women (=20 years old) between 6 weeks and 12 months after delivery. Pre-pregnancy weight was obtained from the maternal pregnancy booklet and/or self-reported during a structured interview. Current weight and height were obtained through anthropometric assessment. Pre-pregnancy and current BMI were classified according to World Health Organization criteria. GWG was calculated as the difference between pre-pregnancy weight and the final weight of pregnancy, while PPWR was calculated as the difference between current and pre-pregnancy weight. Genomic DNA was extracted from saliva samples, and ADRB2 rs1042713 (G/A) and rs1042714 (C/G) polymorphisms were genotyped using TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction assays. Associations were tested under dominant models using the Mann-Whitney U test (P < 0.05). The study was approved by the institutional Ethics Committee (CAAE 70713423.8.0000.5258; approval number 6.273.645).

Results
A total of 196 and 74 women were evaluated for the rs1042713 and rs1042714 polymorphism, respectively. The median age was 29 years (IQR: 25–34). Women carrying the AG/AA genotype for the rs1042713 polymorphism, showed lower current BMI values [27.99 vs. 29.93 kg/m2; P = 0.048] and lower pre-pregnancy BMI values [27.02 vs. 29.71 kg/m2; P = 0.029] compared with those carrying the GG genotypes. No significant differences were observed between groups regarding GWG [12.0 vs. 10.0 kg; P > 0.05] or PPWR [5.0 vs. 6.0 kg; P > 0.05]. For the rs1042714 polymorphism, no significant differences were identified between genotype groups for all the evaluated variables (P > 0.05).

Conclusions
The ADRB2 rs1042713 polymorphism was associated with maternal adiposity, as reflected by pre-pregnancy and current BMI, but not GWG and PPWR. Conversely, no significant association was identified between rs1042714 and the adiposity-related outcomes assessed.
