This study examined the association between body mass index (BMI) and unintended pregnancy using Cycle 6 of the National Survey of Family Growth, a nationally representative sample of 7,643 reproductive-aged women. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for socioeconomic, demographic, and health factors showed no significant association between BMI and unintended pregnancy in the past five years. Obese women were more likely to use highly effective contraception and less likely to use none. These findings differ from prior case-control studies and underscore the value of population-based analyses. 000000641 540__ $$fCC BY 000000641 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000641 650__ $$aBody Mass Index$$028801 000000641 650__ $$aContraception$$017054 000000641 650__ $$aPregnancy$$024523 000000641 650__ $$aObesity$$023118 000000641 650__ $$aRisk Factors$$025522 000000641 650__ $$aContraceptive Agents$$017057 000000641 650__ $$aSexual Behavior$$025915 000000641 650__ $$aOverweight$$036327 000000641 650__ $$aAbortion, Induced$$011020 000000641 6531_ $$aabortion 000000641 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000641 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000641 7001_ $$aKaneshiro, Bliss$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000641 7201_ $$aJensen, Jeffrey$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eChair 000000641 8564_ $$9e00868d8-0631-4677-b7db-f68e11d413c1$$s396195$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/641/files/642_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2d0d75b22cabed647d9437c7529e3a28b$$31 000000641 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
