Sitting Duration Effects on Maternal Sleep and Neonatal Parameters

Figshare hosts a clinical study dataset comparing sleep quality, birth, and neonatal parameters between 102 pregnant women with and without chronic diseases, categorized by daily sitting duration. The dataset, authored by Murat Ozsahin and updated in April 2026, includes measurements from participants in their 36th to 42nd week of pregnancy. It contains results from ANCOVA tests and correlation analyses on maternal and neonatal health indicators.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlation between maternal sitting time and neonatal hemoglobin levels using reported p-values.
• Model the relationship between sitting duration and the PI (ponderal) index of neonates based on the provided correlation coefficient r(98) = -0.200.
• Investigate daytime dysfunction in pregnant women with chronic diseases as sitting time increases, using the correlation r(98) = 0.216.
• Compare sleep quality and birth parameters across subgroups defined by disease status (CDP vs HP) and sitting duration (short, long).

Strengths

• Dataset includes 102 participants with balanced groups of 51 chronic disease and 51 healthy pregnant women.
• Statistical results like p-values and correlation coefficients for key relationships are provided in the description.
• Data is available in multiple analysis-ready formats including CSV, XLSX, and JASP.

Limitations

• Small sample size of 102 participants limits statistical power and generalizability of findings.
• Temporal coverage is limited to a single point in the third trimester (36th-42nd week).
• Geographic origin of participants is unknown, which may introduce cultural or healthcare system bias.
