Trajectory and Predictors of Fatigue Among Chinese Immigrant and Chinese Canadian-Born Women in the Postpartum Period

摘要

Objective: To describe the proportion of women with improving or worsening symptoms of fatigue at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after birth; to model the trajectory of fatigue across the first year after birth and identify baseline predictors (e.g., immigrant status) and time-varying predictors; and to describe the degree to which fatigue interferes with activities of daily living across the first year after birth among a cohort of Chinese immigrant and Chinese Canadian-born women.
