Optimal 24-hour movement behaviour compositions across trimesters and risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: the Pregnancy 24/7 cohort study

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to identify optimal 24-hour movement behavior compositions during pregnancy that are associated with a lower risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Analyzing data from 470 participants, the authors found that lower sedentary behavior and higher light-intensity physical activity were significant predictors of reduced HDP risk. These findings suggest that modifying daily movement behaviors could serve as effective intervention strategies to mitigate HDP risk.
