Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Body Mass Index (BMI)

    To assess changes in BMI, height and body weight will be measured, and calculated kg/m2

    Measured at baseline and at follow-up 1 year after delivery

  • Change in quality of life

    Assessed through questionnaire. Quality of life will be measured using the 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12v2). Summary score will be calculated for the mental health domain. The SF-12 summary score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores representing better self-reported quality of life/health.

    Measured at baseline and at follow-up 1 year after delivery

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Change in fasting glucose

    Measured at baseline and at follow-up 1 year after delivery

  • Change in HDL and triglycerides

    Measured at baseline and at follow-up 1 year after delivery

  • Change in well-being

    Measured at baseline and at follow-up 1 year after delivery

  • Change in self-perceived health

    Measured at baseline and at follow-up 1 year after delivery

  • Change in stress

    Measured at baseline and at follow-up 1 year after delivery

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (18)

  • Change in waist- and hip circumference in women with prior GDM

    Measured at baseline and at follow-up 1 year after delivery

  • Change in body fat% in women with prior GDM

    Measured at baseline and at follow-up 1 year after delivery

  • Differences in %weight change

    At follow-up 1 year after delivery

  • +15 more other outcomes

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Will receive the intervention

Behavioral: Face-it Intervention

Usual care

NO INTERVENTION

Will receive usual care - will be the control group

Interventions

The Face-it intervention is a health promotion intervention consisting of 3 major components: 1) active involvement of health visitors, 2) digital health technology and coaching, and 3) a structured cross-sectoral communication system in the healthcare system.
