Relevance: Alimentary obesity is one of the key factors adversely affecting women’s reproductive health and the outcomes of planned pregnancy. The accumulation of visceral fat is accompanied by pronounced metabolic disturbances, hormonal imbalance, reduced ovarian reserve, and an increased risk of gestational complications, underscoring the importance of analyzing current scientific evidence on this issue.
The study aimed to assess the impact of alimentary obesity on the processes involved in pregnancy planning.
Materials and Methods: A review of publications available in international databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science) from 2015 to 2025 was conducted, covering clinical, epidemiological, and experimental studies. A comparative analysis of data was performed to evaluate the relationship between alimentary obesity and ovulatory disorders, manifestations of insulin resistance, and the influence of visceral fat on pregnancy rates.
Results: Alimentary obesity creates an unfavorable background for both the onset and course of pregnancy, reducing the effectiveness of natural conception and assisted reproductive technologies. Comprehensive preconception preparation—including weight reduction, correction of metabolic disturbances, optimization of hormonal status, and lifestyle modification—contributes to improved reproductive outcomes and a reduced incidence of obstetric complications.
Conclusion: Systematization of current data underscores the need for early diagnosis of alimentary obesity and the development of individualized pregnancy-planning programs. An integrative approach aimed at reducing visceral fat and correcting metabolic disorders is an effective strategy for enhancing reproductive potential and improving prognosis for both mother and fetus.
