Question:

If we assume that the change in weight from prepregnancy to 12 months is normally distributed, then what percent of women in the active group were at or below their pre-pregnancy weight at 12 months postpartum?


Diabetes, Obstetrics

Pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at risk for long-term weight gain and subsequent development of type II diabetes. A pilot weight loss clinical trial was conducted where women with GDM were randomized to either an active intervention using a web-based delivery or a control intervention (Nicklas et al. [3]). Women were randomized at 6 weeks postpartum and then were seen at follow-up visits at 6 months and 12 months postpartum. At 12 months postpartum, women in the active group lost a mean of 0.2 lb. with a standard deviation of 15.4 lbs.
