A Weight Maintenance Program Promoting Fat Loss in Pregnancy in Women With Obesity
Abstract
The aims of this randomized controlled trial are to determine the effects of a lifestyle program that supports weight maintenance and fat mass loss during pregnancy in women with obesity on changes in 1) maternal weight, fat mass, and cardiometabolic risk factors; 2) safety measures, including fetal and neonatal growth; 3) the mediators and moderators of the fat mass loss intervention and 4) the effects gestational fat mass loss has on reducing incidence of adverse obstetrical outcomes, including non-elective cesarean delivery, gestational diabetes, hypertension, and pre-eclampsia.
Conditions: Gestational Weight Gain, Obesity.
Primary outcome: Body weight.
Enrollment: 100 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 100 participants or records.
