Abstract: 

We examined 226 women of reproductive age who permanently resided in Perm. Our research goal was to examine certain risk factors and assess their effects on overweight and obesity in women of reproductive age.
All the patients were divided into 2 groups; the reference one was made up of 123 women with normal body weight; the test one included 103 women with overweight and obesity. We determined body mass index (BMI) of each woman; obesity type (in case BMI was higher than 25 kg/m2, namely android or gynoid one; physical activity; nutrition stereotypes; smoking status (more than 5 cigarettes a day daily for not less than 1 months); sleeping disorders; research season; concomitant gastrointestinal diseases and liver diseases. We calculated relative risk of obesity and BMI predictors.
The research revealed a significant correlation between overweight and obesity and elevated risks of unhealthy nutrition stereotypes (RR=3.3); low physical activity (RR=2.6); age exceeding 35 (RR=2.1); smoking (RR=1.8); gastrointestinal diseases and liver diseases (RR=1.5); sleeping disorders (RR=1.5). Women from the test group had improper eating habits and nutrition behavior as opposed to their counterparts from the reference group. Each second patient who suffered from android obesity was also a smoker. Winter season didn’t turn out to be a predictor of fat metabolism disorders.
Therefore, having analyzed pre-obesity and obesity risk, we recommend efficient activities performed in public healthcare and personal adherence to healthy lifestyle as it will allow reducing body weight of fertile Russian women. Doctors of any specialty should share the responsibility for preserving health of future parents and generations.
