Abstract
Objective: To determine the incidence of excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) among overweight and obese pregnant women, its associated factors, and pregnancy outcomes.
Methods: A total of 355 overweight or obese singleton pregnant women who were included. Obstetric characteristics, weight gain, and pregnancy outcomes, were extracted from medical records. GWG was categorized according to the Institute of Medicine recommendation. Comparisons were made between individuals with inadequate, normal, and excessive GWG. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine independent associated factors for excessive GWG.
Results: Majority of the women were overweight (68.7%), 38.9% were nulliparous, and mean pre-pregnancy body mass index was 28.9 kg/m2. Excessive GWG was observed in 53% of the women. Women with excessive GWG had significantly higher weight gain in every trimester. Risk of excessive GWG increased in women ≤30 years, while gestational diabetes (GDM) significantly decreased the risk. Women with excessive GWG had a significantly higher primary cesarean section rate. Both women with normal and excessive GWG showed higher rate of having large for gestational age (LGA) infants (P=0.003). Maternal age of ≤30 years significantly increased the risk of excessive GWG (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.11-3.27) and GDM significantly decreased this risk (aOR, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.24-0.67).
Conclusion: The incidence of excessive GWG among overweight and obese women was 53%. Maternal age of ≤30 years significantly increased this risk while women with GDM were significantly decreased risk. Primary cesarean section and fetal LGA significantly increased in women with excessive GWG.
期刊介绍:
Obstetrics & Gynecology Science (NLM title: Obstet Gynecol Sci) is an international peer-review journal that published basic, translational, clinical research, and clinical practice guideline to promote women’s health and prevent obstetric and gynecologic disorders. The journal has an international editorial board and is published in English on the 15th day of every other month. Submitted manuscripts should not contain previously published material and should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. The journal has been publishing articles since 1958. The aim of the journal is to publish original articles, reviews, case reports, short communications, letters to the editor, and video articles that have the potential to change the practices in women''s health care. The journal’s main focus is the diagnosis, treatment, prediction, and prevention of obstetric and gynecologic disorders. Because the life expectancy of Korean and Asian women is increasing, the journal''s editors are particularly interested in the health of elderly women in these population groups. The journal also publishes articles about reproductive biology, stem cell research, and artificial intelligence research for women; additionally, it provides insights into the physiology and mechanisms of obstetric and gynecologic diseases.
