MATERNAL PHYSICAL ACTIVITY HABITS: REPORT FROM THE CRIBS STUDY

Physical activity during pregnancy is generally considered safe and beneficial for both the pregnant woman and her fetus. Focusing on modifiable risk factors such as eating habits and physical activity to achieve a healthy weight prior to conception could increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Numerous health benefits are associated with achieving optimal diet and physical activity behaviours during and after pregnancy. Understanding predictors of these behaviours is an important public health consideration. The overall aim was to investigate pregnant women’s physical activity and its associations with maternal lifestyle characteristics and pregnancy outcomes using the data from the CRIBS study (Croatian Islands’ Birth Cohort Study).
