Effectiveness and implementation of lower-intensity weight management interventions delivered by the non-specialist workforce in postnatal women
Lower-intensity interventions delivered in primary and community care contacts could provide more equitable and scalable weight management support for postnatal women. This mixed-methods systematic review aimed to explore the effectiveness, implementation, and experiences of lower-intensity weight management support delivered by the non-specialist workforce. We included quantitative and qualitative studies of any design that evaluated a lower-int…
The Challenge of Weight Stigma for Women in the Preconception Period
Weight stigma is a well-recognised public health issue affecting many members of society including women during the preconception period. The impacts of preconception weight stigma on women are significant and may result in decreased access to and uptake of healthcare, and mental health concerns. The consequences of this weight stigma may translate to negative maternal outcomes and even intergenerational effects on the child. Eliminating weight s…
Experiences and perceptions of nutritional health and wellbeing amongst food insecure women in Europe
Since the 2008 global financial crisis, there has been a rise in the number of people experiencing food insecurity.

Women's engagement with weight management support services is low. OBJECTIVE: To explore obese pregnant women's experiences to better understand factors which n…
Trends in maternal obesity and health inequalities in a nationally representative sample of 619 323 births in England, UK, 1989–2007
preterm. Number of grandchildren increased with increasing number of children in both sexes, providing no evidence for a trade-off between quantity of offspring and their subsequent reproductive ''quality''. Conclusions: Early life characteristics can affect reproductive success even in post-demographic transition populations. These effects operate via multiple pathways and include ''biological'' characteristics such as birthweight having an effe…
