Highlights
- Gestational weight gain (GWG) growth charts are useful to track trajectories and implement appropriate interventions.
- We created GWG growth percentile charts for the Japanese population based on the Japan Environment and Children’s Study.
- We estimated GWG trajectory curves to meet the new GWG recommendations released in March 2021.
