Most of us may already be aware of the fact that obesity is a serious health condition, right? We know that it has many side effects and can also harm your health negatively. However, do you think obesity can also affect fertility?
Obesity can be described as a health condition in which, a person's body weight is above normal, as in, the BMI (basal metabolic index) rate is above the healthy range.
When people suffer from obesity, they are at the risk of developing other serious ailments like, joint pain, fatigue, high cholesterol, hypertension, fatigue, heart diseases and so on.
In fact, obesity is the root cause of numerous other diseases, apart from the ones mentioned above.

It was found that, about 59% of the obese couples took a longer time to have a child, compared to couples who had a healthier weight.
The researchers conducted a study on two groups of couples who were trying for a child.
The first group of couples included people whose BMI was over 35 and the second group included people with BMI ranging between 20-30.

was
found
that
the
first
group
of
couples,
who
were
obese,
or,
had
a
higher
BMI,
took
longer
to
get
pregnant.

researchers
say
that
the
amount
of
fat
deposited
in
the
body
plays
an
important
role
when
it
comes
to
fertility.

In conclusion, it was found that obese couples take a longer time to have a child, in most cases.
