ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Despite military fitness regulations, women in the military frequently experience overweight/obesity, excessive gestational weight gain (GWG), and the postpartum implications. This interim analysis of the Moms Fit 2 Fight study examines GWG outcomes among active-duty personnel and other TRICARE beneficiaries who received a stepped-care GWG intervention compared with those who did not receive a GWG intervention.METHOD:
Participants (N = 430; 32% identified with an underrepresented racial group, 47% were active duty) were randomized to receive a GWG intervention or the comparison condition, which did not receive a GWG intervention.RESULTS:
Retention was 88% at 32 to 36 weeks' gestation. Participants who received the GWG intervention gained less weight compared with those who did not (mean [SD] = 10.38 [4.58] vs. 11.80 [4.87] kg, p = 0.0056). Participants who received the intervention were less likely to have excessive GWG compared with those who did not (54.6% vs. 66.7%, p = 0.0241). The intervention effects were significant for participants who identified as White, but not for those of other racial identities. There were no significant differences between the conditions in maternal/neonatal outcomes.CONCLUSIONS:
The intervention successfully reduced excessive GWG, particularly among participants who identified as White. Should this intervention be found cost-effective, it may be sustainably integrated throughout the military prenatal care system.
