Key result
Sex-specific risk factors like adverse pregnancy, premature menopause, and PCOS link to higher CVD risk.
Why the study?
Women face significant disparities in CVD care compared to men, and the association between CVD and obstetric, reproductive, and sex-specific risk factors remains underestimated.
Do sex-specific risk factors, such as adverse pregnancy outcomes and reproductive history, increase the risk of future cardiovascular disease in women?

Supports incorporating reproductive history into women's CVD risk evaluation; leaves open prospective validation before guiding interventions.
Do sex-specific risk factors, such as adverse pregnancy outcomes and reproductive history, increase the risk of future cardiovascular disease in women?
Sex-specific risk factors, particularly adverse pregnancy outcomes and reproductive history, are strongly associated with future cardiovascular disease in women and should be incorporated into clinical risk stratification.
Nguyen et al. (2024) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Sex-specific risk factors, including adverse pregnancy outcomes, premature menopause, and polycystic ovarian syndrome, are independently associated with an increased risk of future cardiovascular disease in women.
