Literature from multiple disciplines suggests that women who are obese during early adulthood may accumulate social and physiological impediments to childbearing across their reproductive lives. This led the authors to investigate whether obese young women have different lifetime childbearing experiences than leaner peers by analyzing data from 1,658 female participants in the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Study sample members were nulliparous women ages 20 - 25 in 1982. The authors examined their childbearing experiences between 1982 and 2006 and found that young women who were obese at baseline had higher odds of remaining childless and increased odds of underachieving fertility intentions than young women who were normal weight at baseline. These results suggest that obesity has long-term ramifications for women's childbearing experiences, with respect to whether and how many children women have in general and relative to the number of children they want.
多学科的文献表明，成年早期肥胖的女性在其整个生育期可能会积累生育方面的社会和生理障碍。这促使作者通过分析1979年全国青年纵向调查中1658名女性参与者的数据，来研究肥胖的年轻女性与较瘦的同龄人在生育经历上是否存在差异。研究样本成员为1982年年龄在20至25岁之间的未生育女性。作者考察了她们在1982年至2006年期间的生育经历，发现基线时肥胖的年轻女性比基线时体重正常的年轻女性无子女的几率更高，且生育意愿未达成的几率也更高。这些结果表明，肥胖对女性的生育经历有长期影响，涉及女性总体上是否生育以及生育多少子女，以及相对于她们想要生育的子女数量而言的情况。
