PublicSource wrote about a recent #study?by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, which found a possible reason for poor maternal health outcomes for Black birthers could be everyday racism and sexism. The study followed more than 300 pregnant people living in the #Pittsburgh region over time, starting in their second or third trimester and ending one year after they gave birth. Using smartphones and Bluetooth-enabled scales, the participants regularly reported their weight and everyday experiences, including stress and race- and gender-based discrimination. Suffering through discrimination was associated with weight retention after pregnancy among Black birthing people,?which puts them at risk?for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, among other chronic health conditions. The researchers didn’t find that association among white participants.??https://lnkd.in/emYJHtay
