Objective: This integrative review synthesized evidence on lifestyle interventions promoting cardiometabolic health among Black women of childbearing age in the U.
Background: No studies examine associations between acculturation and physical activity (PA) in California's foreign-born Black population, even though rates of PA are lower in Black populations, lower PA rates are a risk for cardiovascular disease, and this population is growing.

- Key themes from the research highlighted the need for improved educational resources, innovative technologies, collaboration across disciplines, and addressing logistical challenges in training programs related to adult obesity.
