Midlife development of type 2 diabetes and hypertension in women by history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
Cardiovascular Diabetology Sep 14, 2018
Timpka S, et al. - Authors gauged the extent to which hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) were associated with midlife development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and hypertension above and beyond established risk factors in parous women who attended population-based structured clinical visits at age 50 and 60 years in Sweden from 1991 to 2013 (N=6,587). Findings suggested that not only are women with a history of HPD at higher risk of cardiometabolic disease during their reproductive years but there was also an association of HDP with midlife T2D development above and beyond established risk factors. T2D developed in 5.8% of initially disease-free women, and hypertension developed in 31.6% of women between ages 50 and 60 years.
