DEIA Mentorship Supplement

项目摘要 本补充研究中提出的研究扩展了母研究，旨在确定 腹部脂肪堆积、妊娠期久坐行为和母体 心肺功能（CRF），以及对GDM风险的独立和交互作用，定义为胰岛素 敏感性和β细胞功能。我们提出的研究将描述当前的身体活动模式， 从父母研究中收集的115名孕妇的种族多样性组的加速度计数据， 三个月（目标1），并将进一步确定自由生活中度和剧烈活动之间的关联 水平和我们的两个主要代谢结果，胰岛素敏感性（Aim 2A）和β细胞功能（Aim 2B）在26- 怀孕28周。如果获得资助，该补充奖还将为五名学员提供支持， 我在肯尼索州立大学进行这项研究，并参与我们的支持和参与团队环境 大学，一所以本科生为中心的大型R2大学。

Project abstract The research proposed in this supplement study expands on the parent study, which aims to determine interrelationships among abdominal fat accretion, sedentary behavior during pregnancy, and maternal cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and the independent and interactive effects on GDM risk, defined as insulin sensitivity and β-cell function. Our proposed study will characterize current physical activity patterns using accelerometer data collected in a racially-diverse group of 115 pregnant women from the parent study at each trimester (Aim 1), and will further determine associations between free-living moderate and vigorous activity levels and our two primary metabolic outcomes, insulin sensitivity (Aim 2A) and β-cell function (Aim 2B) at 26- 28 weeks gestation. If funded, this supplement award will also provide support for five student trainees to help conduct this research and participate on our supportive and engaging team environment at Kennesaw State University, a large, undergraduate-focused R2 university.
