Article Synopsis
  • This observational study examined the prevalence of diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) in men, identifying risk factors and potential adverse outcomes while exploring diagnostic criteria.
  • A total of 1,575 men participated, and the study revealed a DRA prevalence of 29.78% using an interrectus distance (IRD) > 2 cm, which decreased to 10.16% with an IRD > 3 cm.
  • Key influencing factors included age, BMI, smoking, and exercise, while no strong connections were found between DRA and abdominal muscle function or quality of life, although hernias were significant when using the > 3 cm criterion.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed the prevalence of diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) among 1,000 postpartum women over 30 years, finding significant occurrence especially with an inter-recti distance (IRD) greater than 2 cm (36% at 3 years postpartum).
  • Key risk factors identified for DRA included higher body mass index (BMI), greater number of pregnancies, having twins, and diabetes, affecting different time points postpartum (e.g., BMI was significant at 10 years).
  • The results suggest a need to refine diagnostic criteria for DRA to minimize unnecessary diagnoses and improve early intervention strategies for affected women.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to investigate whether diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) can cause adverse outcomes for different long-term postpartum women.

Methods: We recruited 437 long-term postpartum women at five different time points (3, 5, 10, 20, and 30 years postpartum respectively). Inter-recti distance (IRD) and linea alba or umbilical hernia were measured by ultrasound.
