Abstract

Background: Physical activity during pregnancy is thought to influence birth outcomes, but its association with it is not fully understood. We aimed to examine the association of sedentary behavior during pregnancy with preterm birth and infant adiposity measured at birth, 14 weeks, and one year of age.

Methods: In this cohort study, physical activity during pregnancy was assessed using the physical activity questionnaire. Gestational age at birth was determined soon after delivery and the infants were followed up until one year of age. Infant anthropometric measurements such as weight, length, crown-rump length, mid-upper arm circumference, waist and hip circumference, and skinfold thickness were assessed at each follow-up visit. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were used to assess the association of sedentary behavior during pregnancy with preterm birth and infant adiposity, after adjusting for confounders.

Results: Among the 1315 pregnant women who participated in the study, 7.1% had sedentary behavior. Sedentary behavior during pregnancy was significantly associated with a higher incidence of preterm birth (OR = 1.43, p = 0.041). Sedentary behavior during pregnancy showed a significant association with adiposity in children as measured through hip circumference (OR = 2.53, p = 0.007) at the 14-week follow-up and the sum of skinfold thickness (OR = 1.53, p = 0.024) at one-year follow-up.

Conclusion: This study highlights a significant association between sedentary behavior during pregnancy and preterm birth, markers of adiposity in children from birth to one year of age. These findings underscore the importance of maintaining moderate physical activity during pregnancy.

怀孕期间身体活动水平与早产和婴儿肥胖的关系:来自印度MAASTHI队列的纵向分析
背景:怀孕期间的身体活动被认为会影响出生结果,但其与之的关系尚不完全清楚。我们的目的是研究怀孕期间久坐行为与出生、14周和1岁时测量的早产和婴儿肥胖之间的关系。方法:在本队列研究中,采用身体活动问卷对妊娠期间的身体活动进行评估。出生时的胎龄在分娩后很快确定,并对婴儿进行随访,直到一岁。在每次随访时评估婴儿的人体测量数据,如体重、身高、冠臀长、上臂中围、腰臀围和皮褶厚度。在调整混杂因素后,使用多变量线性和逻辑回归模型来评估怀孕期间久坐行为与早产和婴儿肥胖的关系。结果:在参与研究的1315名孕妇中,7.1%有久坐行为。怀孕期间久坐行为与早产发生率显著相关(OR = 1.43, p = 0.041)。在14周的随访中,通过臀围测量(OR = 2.53, p = 0.007),在1年的随访中,通过皮褶厚度总和测量(OR = 1.53, p = 0.024),怀孕期间的久坐行为显示出与儿童肥胖的显著关联。结论:这项研究强调了怀孕期间久坐行为与早产之间的重要联系,早产是儿童从出生到一岁肥胖的标志。这些发现强调了在怀孕期间保持适度体育活动的重要性。

期刊介绍: Sport Sciences for Health is an international, interdisciplinary journal devoted to researchers and practitioners involved in sport and physical activity for health. The journal deals with the mechanisms through which exercise can prevent or treat chronic degenerative disease contributing to prevention and personalized treatment of specific diseases and health maintenance with a translational perspective. It publishes original research, case studies and reviews. Areas of interest include sport, physical activities, sports medicine, healthy lifestyles, motor behavior, physical education and adapted physical activity with different methodological approaches such as physiological, clinical, biomechanical, performance, psychological, educational, social and learning perspectives. Sport Sciences for Health is the official journal of the Società Italiana delle Scienze Motorie e Sportive (SISMeS), an Italian scientific society that aims to promote, support and disseminate knowledge and innovations in the sciences of sport and physical activity for health and quality of life.
