Introduction: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a non-persistent chemical pollutant which alters the normal functioning of the endocrine system. It is suggested that prenatal exposure is related to descendant obesity. Objective: Review literature on pregnant women's exposure to BPA and the relation to their children's obesity. Methodology: Systematic review in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Searches were conducted on databases including Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Clinical Key, Medline, Ebsco and Scielo and Google Scholar search engine until April 30, 2017 by two independent researchers that used the same search terms. Prospective cohort conducted studies were included because they measured BPA in maternal urine. Results: Five studies were included with sample sizes ranging from 297 to 757 motherchild binomials. The review found a positive association between prenatal BPA exposure with 4-year-old children's waist circumference β: 0.28 (95% CI :0.01 to 0.57) and the fat mass index β: 0.31 (95%CI: 0.01 to 0.60) in two of the studies. non-significant positive and/or negative associations where observed with body mass index z-scores, overweight/ obesity, weight and size at birth, body mass percentage. Conclusion: The results of cohort epidemiological studies constrain statements regarding a causal link between prenatal BPA exposure and postnatal obesity.
