Mental health and gestational weight gain: A comparison between Brazilian cohorts
Our findings highlight the importance of incorporating psychosocial support in prenatal care to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes. Variations in socioeconomic and temporal contexts may influence the relationship between mental health and GWG. Future research should explore the underlying mechanisms and develop interventions tailored to different socioeconomic and temporal contexts.
