Obesity in Women and Miscarriage

The main purpose of this study was a comparison of obesity in women with and without miscarriage experiences. The relationship between body fat levels is completely unclear, despite large number of studies. It has been estimated that, unless effective action is taken, about one-third of adult women would be obese by 2010. Modifiable physical activity and sedentary diet behaviors are associated with morbidity and mortality, and improving these behaviors in all populations, including women, is a national health priority. In the current study, women with (N=54) and without miscarriage (N=70) experiences were compared by, body mass index (BMI). For statistical analysis was used SPSS software and independent T-test statistical method. All statistical operations were performed in confidence distance=95%, alpha=5% .The results showed that, there was a significant difference between women without and with miscarriage experiences in term of their body mass index and physical activity (P < 0.05). Women without miscarriage experiences had desirable weight than women with miscarriage experiences. Women with miscarriage experiences had overweight. Current study indicated that reducing obesity is one of the greatest priorities for enhancing women’s health. The appropriate physical activity programs are optimal to help preventing chronic disease such as obesity and overweight in women, and are most beneficial for miscarriage and development. It is necessary, obese women must to reach the desired weight in prior to pregnancy. Results from this investigation help provide direction for future research efforts and health education programs.
