“…Randomized controlled trials from our group and others suggested that lifestyle interventions decreased the rate of excessive gestational weight gain in pregnant women 25,26 , which reduced the risk for GDM and postpartum diabetes. Our recent studies suggested that pregnant women living in FN rural communities tend to have less access to healthy diets and lower physical activity compared to non-FN women in urban communities, but the pre-pregnancy body mass indexes (BMI) between groups were not significantly different 27 . Socioeconomic factors and lower utilization of prenatal/postnatal care may contribute to the increased risk of GDM and subsequent diabetes among rural-living FN women.…”

word count: 249 Manuscript word count: 3,118 Bulleted novelty statement:This historical cohort study examined the impact of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) after excluding pre-existing diabetes in mothers who delivered from 1981-2011 in Manitoba, Canada. First Nations (FN) women had 2-times more GDM and were 3-times more likely to develop postpartum diabetes than non-FN women. Postpartum diabetes in both FN and non-FN mothers was affected by GDM, lower family income and rural residence. The relative risk of developing postpartum diabetes in non-FN women was higher than FN women. The findings suggest that the reduction of GDM and socioeconomic inequities are required for preventing postpartum diabetes in FN and non-FN women.Running title: GDM and subsequent diabetes in mothers 2 Abstract Background: Over the past 30 years, the prevalence of diabetes has steadily increased among

“…Although First Nations women are likely to benefit greatly from physical activity, the reduced rates of physical activity in these women noted by Back et al (1) are not surprising given the data noted in other populations. We need to find ways to improve the rates of moderate physical activity in our First Nations women and women of all ethnicities, both before and during pregnancy.…”

“…In this issue of the Canadian Journal of Diabetes, Back et al (1) look at physical activity and nutritional intake of pregnant First Nations women living both in remote communities and in urban settings, and compare them to Caucasians living in urban settings. These authors found that physical activity is lower in both First Nations communities compared with the Caucasian urban women and that nutritional intake needed improvement, especially in the First Nations women living in rural communities.…”

This report summarizes a meeting, Obesity Prevention from Conception, held in Ottawa in 2012. This planning workshop was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) to bring together researchers with expertise in the area of maternal obesity (OB) and weight gain in pregnancy and pregnancy-related disease to attend a one-day workshop and symposium to discuss the development of a cross-Canada lifestyle intervention trial for targeting pregnant women. This future intervention will aim to reduce downstream OB in children through encouraging appropriate weight gain during the mother’s pregnancy. The workshop served to (i) inform the development of a lifestyle intervention for women with a high pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), (ii) identify site investigators across Canada, and (iii) guide the development of a grant proposal focusing on the health of mom and baby. A brief summary of the presentations as well as the focus groups is presented for use in planning future research.
