Knowledge of Obesity Risks and Women’s Health: What do we know? by James KS* Investigations in Gynecology Research & WomensHealth
Background: Even
though aware of cardiometabolic risks associated with obesity, health
professionals and women are less knowledgeable about the association between
obesity and breast/endometrial cancer, and obesity and reproductive outcomes.
Objective: To
assess knowledge of the cardiometabolic, general, and reproductive risks
associated with obesity in a diverse population of women.
Methods: A
convenience sample (N=121 women) completed the study survey.
Results:
Participants were less knowledgeable about the effect of obesity on
reproductive outcomes (39.9%) compared to general health outcomes (59.2%).
Higher education and increased income were associated with increased awareness.
Older participants were more aware about the effects of obesity on general
health and cardiometabolic outcomes.
