Bold indicates significant associations (p < 0.05). Active women were defined as those who self-reported accumulating leisure MVPA of ≥2.5 hours/week; inactive women were defined as those who self-reported accumulating leisure MVPA of <2.5 hours/week. All models adjusted for leisure and occupational ST, age, race, education, working status, insurance, smoking, delivery term, pregnancy complications.
