Physical Activity During Pregnancy and Preterm Birth Among Women With Gestational Diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Physical activity, as a modifiable factor, emerges as a primary intervention strategy for the prevention and management of gestational diabetes (GD). Among women with GD, the association of physical activity during pregnancy with preterm birth remains unclear.

Objective

To examine the association of accelerometer-derived physical activity metrics and patterns with preterm birth among women with GD.

Design, setting, and participants

This prospective cohort study recruited pregnant women with GD in Hangzhou, China, from August 2019 to August 2023 as part of the Westlake Precision Birth Cohort study. Statistical analysis was performed between August and November 2023.

Exposures

Wearable accelerometer-derived physical activity metrics and patterns. Measu
