Abstract

weight change as BMI class increased. For the women who kept the EI for 3 years, the median weight change (interquartile range) per BMI class was: normal/underweight 3.2 kg (-0.5, 6.4), overweight 5.2 kg (-0.5, 9.3), class I obese 5.7 kg (0.2, 10.7), class II obese 9.1 kg (2.3, 13.6), and class III 5.0 kg (-2.3, 13.2).CONCLUSION: There was no trend in weight change after placement of the EI as BMI class increased. The greatest increase in weight occurred in the class II group at 3 years. This information will be useful in counseling obese women about the EI when discussing contraceptive options.
