Thirty-two percent of women aged 20–39 and 40% of women aged 40–59 are obese.1 One-third of adolescent females aged 12–19 are overweight and obese, with 20% qualifying as obese.1 Overweight and obese women are no less likely to be sexually active and therefore at risk of pregnancy than normal-weight women.2 Adolescent females in the higher-weight categories have a higher risk of unintended pregnancy than their normal-weight peers due to lower self-esteem and less confidence negotiating condom and contraception use.2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/20 UR - obgyn.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1139758692 ER -
