Progestin-only contraceptives: effects on weight

Changes in Body Weight and Blood Pressure among Women Using Depo-Provera injection in Northwest Ethiopia

“…This is in agreement with a prospective cohort study performed on 97 Brazilian women, aimed to compare body weight and body composition in Depo-Provera and copper IUD users at baseline and after 1 year of use [11]. Another study, done to assess the association between progestin-only contraceptive use and changes in body weight, revealed that weight gain was greater in Depo-Provera group than in the group using a nonhormonal IUCD, which is in agreement with the findings of the present study [12]. Another similar study showed that the use of Depo-Provera was associated with weight gain compared to the copper IUCD [9].…”

Prevalence and factors associated with underweight, overweight and obesity among women of reproductive age in India

“…The greater odds among ever-married women might be due to gestational weight gain but could also be influenced by increasing socioeconomic status and related factors. Similar to earlier studies, women who reported that they were using hormonal contraceptives during the survey period had increased prevalence of overweight/obesity compared to women who were not using hormonal contraceptives [26, 27]. In addition to the weight gain associated with hormonal contraceptive use, women who use hormonal contraceptives are more likely to be older, have children, or be married [28, 29].…”

Long-Acting Reversible Contraception

“…Importantly, this gain with isolated progestogen methods is similar to that found in women using other hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptive methods (A). 70 The CHOICE study showed no difference in weight gain among LARC (copper IUD, LNG-IUS and ENG implant) users during the first year of follow-up (B). 71 Therefore, if there is weight gain, women should be consulted about any changes in lifestyle and diet (C).…”
