This study aimed to investigate (1) pregnant women's level of knowledge of lifestyle-related risk factors during pregnancy and their potential health impact on their offspring, and (2) the factors affecting women's knowledge of lifestyle-related risk factors during pregnancy. A cross-sectional observational study of pregnant women was carried out in obstetric and gynecologic care settings at three hospitals in Southern Germany. Data from 209 pregnant women revealed large knowledge gaps on lifestyle-related risk factors during pregnancy and their potential health impact. Factors affecting women's knowledge of lifestyle-related risk factors during pregnancy were specifically associated with socioeconomic status, e.g., lower household net income, middle educational level, and statutory health insurance status. Women who had received information from their gynecologist had a higher level of knowledge of lifestyle-related risk factors during pregnancy. This study showed that health promotion regarding lifestyle-related risks during pregnancy specifically needs to address women from the low-to-middle socioeconomic status group. Gynecologists seem particularly effective in providing this information.
(1) 孕妇对妊娠相关生活方式风险因素的了解程度及其对后代潜在健康影响；(2) 影响孕妇对妊娠相关生活方式风险因素的知识的因素。在德国南部三家医院的产科和妇科护理环境中进行了一项孕妇横断面观察性研究。来自 209 名孕妇的数据显示，孕妇对妊娠相关生活方式风险因素及其潜在健康影响的知识存在很大差距。影响孕妇对妊娠相关生活方式风险因素知识的因素与社会经济地位有关，例如，家庭净收入较低、中等教育水平和法定健康保险状况。从妇科医生那里获得信息的女性对妊娠相关生活方式风险因素的了解程度更高。本研究表明，针对妊娠期间与生活方式相关的风险的健康促进特别需要针对中低收入社会经济地位的女性。妇科医生在提供这些信息方面似乎特别有效。
