STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine if factors such as body mass index (BMI), race, and age are associated with @entity1017 in adolescents receiving depot @entity11796 ( @entity12135 ). DESIGN/SETTING: Retrospective chart review at three rural health department family planning clinics and a university-based adolescent clinic in @entity4933 . @entity1 : Adolescent females, aged 12-19, who used either oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) or @entity12135 consistently for the first year of use. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Weight change at one year. RESULTS: A total of 239 adolescent females were included in the analysis; 117 were @entity12135 users and 122 were OCP users. The mean @entity1017 for the @entity12135 group was 8.9 lbs. compared with 4.79 lbs. in the OCP group (P =.002). The change in BMI from baseline was greater among the @entity12135 group (1.51 +/- 1.94) than the OCP group (.75 +/- 1.65), P =.001. After adjusting for age, race, and contraceptive method, initial BMI was associated with @entity1017 (P =.009). CONCLUSIONS: Adolescent females using @entity12135 gained significantly more weight over one year than those @entity1 using OCPs. Adolescent females who are overweight at the initiation of @entity12135 may be more likely to have significant @entity1017 during the first year of use.
