A3-4: Recreational Physical Activity and Gestational Weight Gain in Women with Gestational Diabetes

摘要

Background/AimsExcess gestational weight gain (GWG) is associated with several adverse perinatal outcomes, including increased infant size at birth and postpartum weight retention. These outcomes are particularly problematic for women with gestational diabetes (GDM), who are already at risk for delivering a large infant and developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Participation in recreational physical activity during pregnancy may mitigate excess GWG, but the association has not been previously examined in a large cohort of women with GDM.
