Abstract
Background: Previous studies link overweight/obesity to reduced fertility, highlighting weight intervention as vital for better pregnancy outcomes. However, clarity on the role and efficacy of weight loss in enhancing pregnancy is inconsistent.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of individualized weight intervention on pregnancy among Chinese overweight/obese infertile women and explore body composition indexes influencing pregnancy outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective study involved 363 overweight/obese infertile women admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Guangxi, China, from June 2017 to November 2020. Among them, 249 received personalized weight intervention (intervention group), while 114 did not (control group). Pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups, and changes in body composition before and after intervention were measured. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to analyze factors influencing pregnancy outcomes.
Results: The intervention group exhibited significantly higher clinical pregnancy rates, natural pregnancy rates, assisted reproductive pregnancy rates, and induced ovulation (IO) pregnancy rates compared to the control group (all P < .05). Following weight intervention, there were significant decreases in body weight, body mass index (BMI), visceral fat area, and body fat (all P < .01). Logistic regression analysis identified polycystic ovary syndrome as the reason for infertility (OR=3.446, P = .016), ∆body weight %≥10% (OR=2.931, P = .014), and ∆visceral fat area% (OR=1.025, P = .047) as positive factors for a successful pregnancy. Conversely, age≥35 years old (OR=0.337, P = .001), BMI≥25 kg/m2 after intervention (OR=0.279, P < .001), and visceral fat area≥100 cm2 after intervention (OR=0.287, P = .007) were identified as negative factors.
Conclusions: Individualized weight management enhances pregnancy outcomes in overweight/obese infertile women. Achieving a reduction in body weight by 10% or more, combined with effective control of visceral fat, proves important in improving pregnancy outcomes. Excess visceral fat emerges as an adverse factor impacting successful pregnancy.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
