Patterns and Correlates of Self-Reported Physical Activity in a Cohort of Racially Diverse Pregnant Adolescents

摘要

Study Objective: Regular physical activity (PA) during pregnancy decreases the risk of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. Currently, little is known about the PA of pregnant adolescents. Our intent was to characterize the PA behaviors of a group of racially diverse, low-income pregnant teens and to identify potential determinants of PA.
