Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Obesity among women of childbearing age is of paramount importance because of its association with multiple adverse health outcomes for the mother and fetus once a woman becomes pregnant. Obesity is more prevalent among women of lower socioeconomic status and of color who often times lack health insurance. This health disparity that exists within a framework of repeating cycle of risk emphasizes the urgency for accelerating the discovery of solutions for the obesity problem among women of childbearing age. |
