Kids born to mothers with good cardiovascular health during pregnancy were more likely to have better heart health later on, according to a multinational cohort study.
Children born to mothers with a lower total cardiovascular health (CVH) score calculated with metrics including body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, cholesterol levels, glucose levels, and a history of smoking had an increased risk of poor cardiovascular health themselves, reported Amanda Perak, MD, MS, of the Northwestern University School of Medicine in Chicago, and colleagues.
