Meta-Analysis: The Effect of Lifestyle Interventions on Decreased Postpartum Weight Retention

[摘要] Background: Postpartum weight retention is the increase in postnatal weight compared to pre-pregnancy weight. This weight gain may persist and increase the long-term prevalence of obesity in women. The application of lifestyle interventions consisting of diet, physical activity, and behavior change interventions is believed to be able to reduce postpartum weight retention. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions carried out during pregnancy for reducing postpartum weight retention based on various types of interventions derived from studies that have been conducted.
