BackgroundAdult obesity is associated with infertility; however, childhood obesity has received little consideration.ObjectivesThe present study sought to evaluate the impact of childhood adiposity on fertility.MethodsAssociations between childhood adiposity and self-reported fertility difficulties were estimated among women participating in a long-term study of cardiovascular risks and reproductive health (n=1061).ResultsParticipants with obesity between ages 9 and 12 were more likely to report fertility difficulties (adjusted relative risk [aRR], 1.82, 95% CI 1.17-2.82) and inability to become pregnant when trying (aRR=1.94, 95% CI 1.22-3.08) as were those with obesity prior to age 9 (aRR=1.76, 95% CI 1.04-2.97). Similar associations were seen among those ever overweight or obese in childhood. High subscapular skinfold thickness (age
