Risks of cause-specific mortality in offspring of pregnancies complicated by hypertensive disease of pregnancy

摘要

BACKGROUND: Fetal environment has a substantial influence on an individual's health throughout their life course. Animal models of hypertensive disease of pregnancy have demonstrated adverse health outcomes among offspring exposed to hypertensive disease of pregnancy in utero. Although there are numerous descriptions of the neonatal, infant, and pediatric outcomes of human offspring affected by hypertensive disease of pregnancy, there are few data in US populations on later life outcomes, including mortality.
