Recreational physical activity before and during pregnancy and placental DNA methylation —an epigenome-wide association study

ConclusionsRecreational PA in the year prior and during pregnancy was associated with placental DNA methylation. The associated CpG sites varied based on timing of PA. If replicated, the findings may inform the mechanisms underlying the impacts of PA on placenta health. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00912132.
