Parental smoking during pregnancy and offspring bone mass at age 10 years: findings from a prospective birth cohort.
Osteoporos Int 22(6):1809-19 (2011) PMID 20967424
We investigated an intrauterine influence of maternal smoking during pregnancy on childhood bone mass. Daughters, but not sons, of mothers who smoked had higher bone mass at age 10years. This appears to be due to familial factors related to parental smoking influencing increased offspring adiposity rather than a direct intrauterine effect.
