Project Title: 24-Hour Activity and Cardiometabolic Health in Chinese American Women with a History of Gestational Diabetes


Introduction: This is a nursing research study to characterize the 24-hour activity and cardiometabolic risk profile for Chinese American women with a history of gestational diabetes [GD]. The purpose of this mixed method study is to describe the multi-contextual barriers and facilitators to meet current physical activity and sleep guidelines for the targeted population. Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that is diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy. Your cardiometabolic risk profile includes your blood sugar level, blood cholesterol or triglyceride levels, blood pressure, body fat percentage, and so on, together they influence your risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

简介:本项护理研究项目旨在解析有妊娠糖尿病 [GD] 病史的在美华人女性 24 小时身体活动和心血管代谢健康风险的概况。 这项混合方法研究的目的是描述上述女性在尝试达到“身体活动与睡眠指南”的标准时所遇到 的障碍和促进因素。 妊娠糖尿病是指在妊娠期被首次诊断出的一种糖尿病。您的心脏代谢风险概 况包括您的血糖水平、血胆固醇或甘油三酯水平、血压、体脂率等等,所有的这些因素共同影响 着您罹患心脏病、中风和糖尿病的风险。

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. What are the devices?
  • The name of the activity monitor is ActiGraph GT9X+. It is a research-grade medical device, and it passed the safety standard in the US.  
2. How do the devices work?
  • ActiGraph uses an accelerometer to detect the speed of movement of our body in 3D directions. It is similar to Fitbit, the fitness watch, but it is even more accurate. 
3. How should I wear the devices?
  • Please wear one device to the right side of your waist (as shown in the picture) and the other to your non-dominant hand's wrist. 
4.  What is cardiometabolic health?
  • Cardiometabolic health refers to your heart, blood, blood vessels, and metabolic health. The lab results that we are measuring are markers of the health of your cardiovascular and metabolic system. 
5. What happens during the in-person visit at the Clinical Research Center?
  • At the Clinical Research Center, the nurse will assess your vital signs, height, and weight. Your waist and body fat percentage will also be measured. In addition, a blood sample of one tablespoon (15ml) will be collected to analyze your blood glucose profile, including hemoglobin A1c, fasting blood glucose, and fasting insulin. The lipid panel will also be evaluated, including total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. 
6. How is the in-depth interview conducted?
