Maternal prepregnancy BMI ± 95% CI of women giving birth in Maine shown by year. Mean BMI increased at an average rate of 0.15 BMI units/year. Healthy People 2020 objectives include a 10% increase in the proportion of women who had a healthy weight prior to pregnancy. Given that BMI > 25 is currently defined as overweight while BMI > 30 is currently defined as obese, Maine is not moving toward this goal.
