Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the impact of exercise training during pregnancy on factors like peak oxygen uptake (V̇Opeak), cardiac function, and flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) in individuals with a prepregnancy BMI of 28 kg/m or higher.
- The exercise intervention consisted of three weekly sessions of moderate-intensity walking and strength exercises, starting between 12 and 18 weeks of pregnancy and continuing until delivery.
- Results showed no significant improvements in V̇Opeak, FMD, or echocardiographic outcomes between the exercise and control groups, with only 50% adherence to the exercise program among participants.
Article Synopsis
- Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a dietary strategy that limits daily eating to a specific time window, and this study aimed to see if it works for pregnant individuals at risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
- In a 5-week trial, 32 pregnant participants either followed TRE (10-hour eating window) or usual care, with no significant differences found in glycemic control, body composition, or blood pressure between the two groups.
- While participants on TRE successfully decreased their eating window and reported increased hunger in the evening, the intervention had minimal impact on their overall diet and health outcomes.
Background: Fetal growth restriction is associated with perinatal morbidity and mortality. Early identification of women having at-risk fetuses can reduce perinatal adverse outcomes.
Objectives: To assess the predictive performance of existing models predicting fetal growth restriction and birthweight, and if needed, to develop and validate new multivariable models using individual participant data.
Objective: To predict birth weight at various potential gestational ages of delivery based on data routinely available at the first antenatal visit.
Design: Individual participant data meta-analysis.
Data Sources: Individual participant data of four cohorts (237 228 pregnancies) from the International Prediction of Pregnancy Complications (IPPIC) network dataset.
