Key result
Reproductive risk factors, including adverse pregnancy outcomes, early menarche, polycystic ovary syndrome, and premature menopause, are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in women, making the identification and assessment of female-specific reproductive risk factors critical for determining CVD risk and prevention strategies.
Are reproductive risk factors associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk in women?
Are reproductive risk factors associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk in women?
Reproductive risk assessment, including history of adverse pregnancy outcomes and premature menopause, is critical for determining cardiovascular disease risk and implementing prevention strategies in women.
Supports incorporating reproductive history into women's CVD risk evaluation; confirms associations but leaves interventional benefit open.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death for women. Adverse pregnancy outcomes, including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus, preterm delivery, and low birth weight-affecting up to 30% of pregnant women-increase the risk of CVD. Early menarche and polycystic ovary syndrome are implicated. Premature and early menopause and significant vasomotor symptoms are all associated. Including reproductive risk assessment is critical when determining CVD risk and implementing evidence-based prevention strategies.

Odayme Quesada (2023) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Reproductive risk factors was evaluated on Cardiovascular disease risk. Reproductive risk factors, including adverse pregnancy outcomes, early menarche, polycystic ovary syndrome, and premature menopause, are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
