在美国，育龄妇女中超重和肥胖的日益普遍是一个日益严重的公共卫生问题。所有年龄组的平均体重指数都在增加，妇女怀孕时体重更高。女性也更有可能在每次怀孕时保持妊娠体重。超重（BMI 25-30）和肥胖（BMI >= 30）的妇女与正常体重状态（BMI 19.8-25）的妇女相比，生殖健康不良后果的风险更大。本文概述了与孕妇超重和肥胖相关的并发症，包括糖尿病、先兆子痫、剖腹产和出生缺陷。我们提供有关妇女体重趋势的最新信息。最后，我们提出了一个概述的预防研究，针对青少年和妇女怀孕前。
The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity among women of childbearing age is a growing public health concern in the United States. The average body mass index (BMI) is increasing among all age categories and women enter pregnancy at higher weights. Women are also more likely to retain gestational weight with each pregnancy. Women who are overweight (BMI 25-30) and obese (BMI >= 30) are at greater risk of adverse reproductive health outcomes compared to women of normal weight status (BMI 19.8-25). This article provides an overview of the complications associated with maternal overweight and obesity including diabetes, pre-eclampsia, c-sections, and birth defects. We present updated information on the weight trends among women. Finally, we present an overview of the prevention studies aimed at adolescents and women prior to pregnancy.
