Abstract

Maternal overweight/obesity is an emerging public health challenge in eastern Ethiopia, with one in five women entering pregnancy with the problem. It was associated with socio-demographic, obstetric, genetic, and lifestyle factors. Comprehensive screening services and targeted interventions focusing on at-risk women are essential to identify and address maternal overweight/obesity among pregnant women.
