Self-Reported Physical Activity in Chinese American Immigrants With a History of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Strategies are needed to increase leisure-time moderate-to-vigorous PA in this population. Modifiable factors include providing convenient PA programs (eg, technology or home-based) and addressing postpartum health issues (eg, sleep). Increasing providers' awareness of barriers to PA and cardiometabolic disease risk in this hard-to-reach, high-risk group may improve assessment and referral for high-risk women. Future research is needed to further explore opportunities for PA that Chinese American immigrant women would be open to at this stage in their life.
