Successful enrollment was defined as completing the consent form and receiving an accelerometer. Successful data collection was defined by wearing the accelerometer and returning it to the study without monitor malfunction. In total, 688 women participated at 3-months postpartum and 550 women participated at 12-months postpartum in the PIN Postpartum Study starting in October 2002. The accelerometer portion of the study was added to the cohort in November 2004, with 316 women eligible at 3-months postpartum and 411 women eligible at 12-months postpartum.
