Central obesity increased the risk for pelvic organ prolapse by around 50%, regardless of BMI.
People with central obesity , characterized by excess fat around the abdomen, are at a greater risk for pelvic organ prolapse , particularly those who are younger than 60 years or without a history of hysterectomy . Also, women who have overweight but do not have CO are at greater risk.Researchers conducted a prospective cohort study to estimate the association between CO and general obesity and the risk for POP in individuals using the UK Biobank.
Participants were followed for a median duration of 13.8 years, and POP cases were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes. The relative risk of POP for the various combinations of waist/height ratio and BMI was evaluated against the reference group using Cox proportional hazards models.During the follow-up period, 9781 cases of POP were identified, of which 71.2% occurred in a single pelvic compartment.
The risk for POP was 48% higher in individuals with CO regardless of BMI and 23% higher in those who had overweight without CO .
