Obesity Raises Pregnancy Risk for Women on the Pill
Date: Friday, December 31, 2004
Source: The Telegraph
A study by the Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Centre in Seattle has found that women who are clinically overweight or obese face a higher risk of becoming pregnant whilst on the contraceptive pill. The study, led by Dr Victoria Holt, has found that an obese or overweight woman was 60% to 70% more likely to become pregnant whilst taking the Pill because of the way the treatment was processed by people with a larger metabolism and excess body fat, amongst other factors. Dr Holt stated that "this higher risk of pregnancy also translates into a higher number of obesity-related complications of pregnancy".
