Descrição: Melhado discusses the association between neighborhood environment and maternal health behaviors. A neighborhood's level of physical degradation and availability of walking spaces are associated with residents' maternal health behaviors and pregnancy outcomes, according to findings from a cohort study in North Carolina. After maternal covariates were adjusted for, neighborhood level of physical degradation was positively associated with white women's odds of smoking during pregnancy, gaining an inadequate or an excessive amount of weight during pregnancy having pregnancy-induced hypertension, and bearing a low-birth-weight or preterm infant; it was positively associated with smoking and inadequate weight gain during pregnancy among black women, but not with any pregnancy outcomes.
