- High and very high sedentary behavior patterns are associated with more than twice the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes compared to low sedentary behavior.
- Very high light-intensity physical activity is associated with half the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes compared to low light-intensity activity.
- Moderate and high daily steps are linked to fewer adverse pregnancy outcomes compared to low daily steps.
- Short sedentary bouts and ambulatory light-intensity physical activity patterns did not show significant associations with adverse pregnancy outcomes.
- Reducing sedentary time and increasing light-intensity movement and steps may lower risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes, suggesting a potential strategy for improving pregnancy health.
