Risk of preeclampsia rises sharply with increased pre-pregnancy body mass index

y the researchers.

The dramatic increase in obesity among Americans is well documented and the epidemic's health consequences on non-pregnant individuals have been widely recognized. Less is known about its impact on reproductive outcomes. The researchers say these results suggest that as obesity continues to rise, so will the rates of preeclampsia.

University of Pittsburgh researchers include Dr. Bodnar and Dr. Roberts, both in the department of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine; and Nina Markovic, Ph.D., and Gail Harger, both in the department of epidemiology, University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health.
