Physical activity in pregnancy prevents gestational diabetes: A meta-analysis

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice Aug 22, 2020

Doi SAR, Furuya-Kanamori L, Toft E, et al. - In this meta-analysis involving 1,467 adult women, researchers sought to produce consistent evidence regarding the efficacy of physical activity (PA) programs in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) prevention to guide clinical practice. PubMed/Medline, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and EMBASE have been explored to identify the randomized trials published until June 2019. Randomized controlled trials recruiting women at high risk before the 20th week of gestation comparing the effect of PA interventions with usual care for prevention of GDM have been retrieved. Using a bias-adjusted model of meta-analysis, data obtained were synthesized. The authors discovered that in-facility PA programs begun prior to the 20th week of gestation can significantly reduce the incidence of GDM among high-risk women.
