NAMCS National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey

a

Analysis was restricted to those with overweight status ascertained (n = 5377). We did not stratify visits for pregnant women by overweight status since some cells had < 30 observations.

b

Non-significant p-value, comparing visits for pregnant women seen by OB/GYN vs. non-OB/GYN, n=1847.

c

P < 0.0001 chi square, comparing all visits for non-pregnant women seen by OB/GYN vs. non-OB/GYN, n=3810.

d

P < 0.0001 chi square, comparing visits for obese non-pregnant women seen by OB/GYN vs. non-OB/GYN, n=2215.

e

P < 0.0003 chi square, comparing visits for non-obese non-pregnant women seen by OB/GYN vs. non-OB/GYN, n=1595.
