ABSTRACT

In the 21st Century, obesity has become a world-wide epidemic. In Mexico, about 75% of non-pregnant women of reproductive age (between 20-49 years of age) are overweight or obese (body mass index › 25). In the USA, over 60% are overweight or obese. Overweight and obese women are more likely to gain excessively during pregnancy, and they are more likely to maintain excess weight after delivery. This weight gain also has implications for the child’s future risk of being overweight. In this paper, we will review the impact of maternal adiposity on reproduction, the effect of obesity on maternal metabolism and complications in pregnancy, the short and long-term effects on the infant, and potential interventions for alleviating poor outcomes.
