From the Nature article:
"Obesity is associated with increased risk of almost all pregnancy complications: gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, delivery of large-for-GA infants, and higher incidence of congenital defects all occur more frequently than in women with a normal BMI."
- aeturnum 4y agoPeople can always be healthier (and patients that meet weight-based diagnostic criteria are, AFAIK, informed about their elevated risk and advised to lose weight pretty reliably). I think this study seeks to identify additional intervention that would save lives with our current population - not project about how few people would die given some unrealized set of overall public health stats.
