Article Synopsis
- Several studies have indicated physical activity can help prevent and treat preeclampsia, yet no research has been conducted in Africa to explore this connection.
- The study involved 106 pregnant Tunisian women, comparing physical activity levels between healthy women and those with preeclampsia using a questionnaire.
- Results showed women with preeclampsia were more sedentary, while those who exercised had a longer pregnancy duration, suggesting that increased physical activity is linked to better pregnancy health and reduced risk of preeclampsia.
Objective: We evaluated the association between the Fas-670A/G and the Fas ligand FasL IVS2nt 124 A/G polymorphisms and the risk of pre-eclampsia and its complications.
Design: A case-controlled study.
Setting: University Hospitals in most areas of Tunisia.
Objectives: Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is implicated in several aspects of pregnancy. As genetic predisposition can be involved in the development of preeclampsia, the association between IL-10's promoter region polymorphisms and this pathology has been investigated, although with conflicting results. To date, only a small cohort study (total n = 40) has evaluated this association in the African continent, and none have been conducted in Tunisia.
