Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the link between obesity and stillbirth risk among pregnant women in the U.S., particularly focusing on racial and ethnic differences.
- Results showed that women with prepregnancy obesity had a stillbirth rate of 6.70 per 1,000 births, compared to 3.85 per 1,000 for women with normal BMI, highlighting a significant increased risk (HR: 1.39).
- Racial disparities were noted, with non-Hispanic Black and other non-Hispanic women facing higher stillbirth risks, whereas Hispanic women showed a decreased likelihood (HR: 0.38), indicating the need for targeted public health initiatives.
