Abstract

Background: Pregnancy is one of the periods when women of reproductive age have a high risk of weight gain, and maternal obesity is an important risk factor in this period. This study aimed to investigate the predictive factors of maternal obesity and its impact on pregnancy symptoms and sexual function in pregnant women living in the Eastern Mediterranean region of southern Türkiye.

Methods: This study utilized a cross-sectional, hospital-based, and multi-center design. The study was participated in by 647 pregnant women. Data were collected through the Socio-demographic Form, the Pregnancy Symptoms Inventory, and the Female Sexual Function Index.

Results: The obesity prevalence of pregnant women was 36.6% in this study. This study found that maternal obesity was a predictive factor on pregnancy symptoms (p < 0.05). However, no difference was found between FSFI scores according to pregnancy symptoms in obese and non-obese pregnant women (p > 0.05).

Conclusions: Quality pre-conceptional midwifery care and consultancy accompanied by regular pregnancy follow-ups are considered to prevent the development of maternal obesity, pregnancy complaints, and sexual dysfunction and be a fundamental step that can improve maternal health.

孕妇肥胖的预测因素及其对妊娠症状和性行为的影响：一项基于医院的研究

背景：妊娠期是育龄妇女体重增加的高危时期之一，产妇肥胖是育龄妇女体重增加的重要危险因素。本研究旨在探讨生活在土耳其南部东地中海地区的孕妇肥胖的预测因素及其对妊娠症状和性功能的影响。方法：本研究采用横断面、以医院为基础的多中心设计。647名孕妇参与了这项研究。通过社会人口统计表格、妊娠症状调查表和女性性功能指数收集数据。结果：本组孕妇肥胖患病率为36.6%。本研究发现，产妇肥胖是妊娠症状的预测因素（p < 0.05）。结论：高质量的孕前助产护理和咨询，配合定期妊娠随访，可预防产妇肥胖、妊娠主诉和性功能障碍的发生，是改善产妇健康的基础性措施。
