Abstract

Introduction
Maternal obesity is a key predictor of adverse short- and long-term health outcomes for both mother and child. The aim was to investigate the association between duration of the inter-pregnancy interval between successive pregnancies and change in maternal body mass index (BMI) during that period to assess the optimal interval associated with the least likelihood of starting the following pregnancy with a higher body weight.
