- Abstract: Objective To analyze the current status of physical activity level and its influencing factors in parturients with advanced paternal age at 6 months postpartum,and to explore the correlation between physical activity level and the incidence of overweight/obesity.Methods A total of 399 par-turients with advanced paternal age were included as study subjects.Surveys were conducted using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form,the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale,the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index,and the Family Support Rating Scale.Univariate analysis and bina-ry Logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the influencing factors of physical activity level in parturients with advanced paternal age at 6 months postpartum.Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between physical activity level and the incidence of overweight/obesity.Results Among the parturients with advanced paternal age at 6 months postpartum,134 cases(33.6％)and 265 cases(66.4％)were at low and moderate physical activity levels respectively,with no cases at a high physical activity level.The body mass at 6 months postpartum was(61.31±8.16)kg,and the body mass index(BMI)was(23.57±2.39)kg/m2.The incidence of over-weight/obesity was 42.9％.A negative correlation was observed between the physical activity level and the incidence of overweight/obesity in parturients with advanced paternal age at 6 months postpar-tum(r=-0.566,P＜0.001).There were significant differences in postpartum physical activity levels among with parturients with advanced paternal age at different pre-pregnancy BMI,sleep qualities,and family supports(P＜0.05).Conclusion A higher physical activity level at 6 months postpar-tum in parturients with advanced paternal age is associated with a lower incidence of overweight/obe-sity.The physical activity level is comprehensively influenced by pre-pregnancy BMI,sleep quality,and family support.
