This analysis finds that activity behaviors affect risk factors for cardiometabolic disease in pregnant women, suggesting early intervention may improve outcomes.
Adverse pregnancy outcomes are linked to excess lifelong cardiometabolic disease risk. Physical activity and sedentary behavior influence risk factors and fluctuate around childbearing. Our overall hypothesis is that improvement in activity behaviors in the perinatal period, perhaps especially preceding pregnancy or early in pregnancy, can help modify all or most traditional and novel pathways involved in adverse pregnancy outcome-related cardiometabolic disease risk after delivery.
