Obesity has a profound effect on the clinical manifestation of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder affecting 20-25% of white European women and up to 50% of women in the UK from South Asia. About 50% of women with PCOS are overweight, and this increase in body weight has a major influence on the symptoms of PCOS and fertility.

Obesity has a negative impact on spontaneous conception, miscarriage, pregnancy and the long term health of both mother and child due to both an increased rate of congenital anomalies and the possibility of metabolic disease (including diabetes) in later life. In women with PCOS and a higher body mass index, 20% of pregnancies ended with stillbirth and another 20% had congenital anomalies. The supposed mechanism that increases stillbirth and congenital anomaly rate includes insulin resistance and impending or undiagnosed diabetes.
