Knowledge of the risks associated with being underweight and body shape differences among young Japanese women: a cross-sectional study
Young Japanese women had insufficient knowledge about the adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with being underweight. Underweight women are not less aware of the health risks and associated factors associated with underweight than normal-weight women. The body shape of young women may not be influenced by their knowledge of health issues associated with being underweight.
