Article Synopsis
- Obesity in both women and men can lead to reduced fertility rates and an increased risk of miscarriage, which may apply across various BMI categories.
- A study conducted in Rotterdam from 2017 to 2021 examined how preconception BMI influences time to pregnancy and miscarriage among 3604 couples.
- Results indicated that higher BMI in both partners correlates with decreased chances of conceiving within a month, with every unit increase in BMI linked to lower fecundability and greater risks of subfertility and miscarriage.
