The effect of lifestyle interventions on maternal body composition during pregnancy in developing countries: a systematic review
Optimal maternal body composition during pregnancy is a public health priority due to its implications on maternal health and infant development. We therefore aimed to conduct a systematic review of randomised, controlled trials, and case–control and cohort studies using lifestyle interventions to i...

description | Optimal maternal body composition during pregnancy is a public health priority due to its implications on maternal health and infant development. We therefore aimed to conduct a systematic review of randomised, controlled trials, and case–control and cohort studies using lifestyle interventions to improve body composition in developing countries. Of the 1 708 articles that were searched, seven studies, representing three countries (Brazil, Iran and Argentina), were included in the review. Two articles suggested that intervention with physical activity during pregnancy may significantly reduce maternal weight gain, and five studies were scored as being of poor quality. This systematic review highlights the lack of research within developing countries on lifestyle interventions for the management of excessive weight gain during pregnancy. Similar reviews from developed countries demonstrate the efficacy of such interventions, which should be confirmed using well-designed studies with appropriate intervention methods in resource-limited environments. |
