About The Study: In this longitudinal cohort study of mother-child dyads enrolled at the child’s birth, exposure to adverse pregnancy outcomes during gestation, particularly hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, was associated with suboptimal cardiovascular health and arterial injury among offspring in early adulthood. The findings suggest optimizing pregnancy health may support offspring cardiovascular health into early adulthood.
