Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Women who have confirmed pregnancy (are in the pregnancy period) or are within 6 months postpartum (excluding the group not in the pregnancy-preparation period to ensure the research subjects focus on those in the pregnancy-preparation period); 2. Women with severe physical diseases (such as malignant tumors, severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, chronic renal failure, etc.) or who are unable to cooperate in completing questionnaires and follow-ups due to their physical conditions; 3. Women who explicitly refuse to cooperate with the longitudinal follow-up of this study (such as refusing secondary data collection in the first and second trimesters) (longitudinal studies require a complete data chain, excluding those with insufficient willingness to follow up); 4.
