Preconception and Early-Pregnancy Body Mass Index in Women and Men, Time to Pregnancy, and Risk of Miscarriage
In this cohort study, BMI outside of the normal category in women and men during the preconception or early-pregnancy periods was associated with time to pregnancy and miscarriage. Optimizing BMI in women and men from the preconception period onward might be an important strategy to improve fertility outcomes.
