Does parity affect the risk of maternal cardiovascular disease?
This meta-analysis suggests a dose-response association between the number of pregnancies and maternal cardiovascular disease risk, though limited by the number of available studies.
Our findings suggest that ever parity is related to cardiovascular disease risk and there is an association between the number of pregnancies and the risk of cardiovascular disease. Since the number of included studies was limited, further studies are warranted to confirm our findings.
