Strategies to reduce disparities in maternal morbidity and mortality: The role of obesity and metabolic disease.

Maternal obesity, excessive gestational weight gain, and preexisting diabetes are known risk factors for increased maternal and neonatal morbidity. These conditions are more prevalent in certain racial and ethnic minorities. Identification and acknowledgement of racial and ethnic inequalities related to maternal metabolic disease is crucial for clinicians to provide the most comprehensive care in pregnancy. Research and clinical efforts should focus on implementation of healthy lifestyle interventions preconceptually and risk reduction efforts in disease complications during pregnancy. In addition, obstetrical providers can provide the framework and ongoing support for sustainable lifestyle modifications, thereby, improving a woman's long-term metabolic health.
