Metaanalysis of participation in high versus low level of leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and odds of gestational diabetes (GDM). Estimates are expressed as odds ratios (OR) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals, however x-axis uses lnOR scale. (A) Engaging in any LTPA before pregnancy suggested possible reduced odds of GDM (OR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.43–1.00; I² = 90% (high), p-value = 0.05); (B) Engaging in any LTPA during early pregnancy suggests reduced odds of GDM (OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.50–0.96; I² = 15% (low), p-value = 0.03).
