Sage Wyatt, PhD-candidate at the Department of Global Public Health and Primary Care, University of Bergen is a part of the HealthierWomen Project at the University of Bergen. The purpose of the project is looking into women's lifetime reproductive history and later health. Other colleagues, including Associate Professor Liv Kvalvik, have already published work on predicting CVD death from history of pregnancy complications at age 40.
Almost a ten-fold increased risk Before now, data scientists researching hypertensive disorders of pregnancy have focused on the relationship between just one pregnancy with HDP and long-term risk of heart attack and stroke. "These people at high risk have a rare pattern of more than one hypertensive disorder in their reproductive history, and they delivered their pregnancies early, which may indicate more severe conditions", says Wyatt.
