It has been confirmed that the risk of premature death among women who had health problems during pregnancy continues decades later. [사진=아이클릭아트]Research has shown that the effects of health problems, such as complications suffered during pregnancy, persist even decades later, increasing the likelihood of early death.
A recent study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine found that the risk of death increased for women who experienced major complications during pregnancy and remained high for more than 40 years following giving birth. Researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston and Lund University in Sweden obtained these results by analyzing data on more than 2 million women who gave birth in Sweden between 1973 and 2015.
Gestational diabetes, premature birth, low birth weight, preeclampsia and other high blood pressure conditions Women who experienced one of the five conditions had up to a 1.5-fold increased risk of death up to 46 years following giving birth. Those who experienced multiple diseases simultaneously had a greater risk of early death. Specifically, gestational diabetes increased the risk of death by 52%, premature birth by 41%, low birth weight by 30%, preeclampsia by 13%, and other high blood pressure diseases by 27%. Preeclampsia is a disease that occurs following 20 weeks of pregnancy due to high blood pressure and proteinuria, and is well known as a pregnancy addiction.
The increased mortality rate among these women is due to a variety of causes, including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease, and cancer. Women who give birth prematurely or have a low-birth-weight baby are more than twice as likely to die from respiratory-related causes, and the risk of death from cancer is 1.2 times higher. showed. The risk of death due to diabetes was more than two times higher for women who had premature birth or preeclampsia, and more than 25 times higher for women who had gestational diabetes.
Casey Crump, an author of the study and professor of family medicine and community health at the University of Houston, said in an interview with CNN, “The effects of pregnancy and its complications can cause small physiological changes that are difficult to detect in the early stages, such as inflammation or small blood vessel abnormalities. “We have confirmed that it can persist or even develop and lead to other health problems years or decades later,” he explained. Pregnancy can be a kind of stress test to discover factors that predispose to certain diseases, and checking how the mother’s body reacts to the hormones produced by the placenta and changes in the vascular system provides an opportunity to prevent and intervene in possible diseases early. He also added that he might give it to her.
The fact that it did not take into account other variables that might affect overall health, such as diet or exercise, is considered a limitation. However, it is already a well-known fact that a healthy diet, maintaining an appropriate weight, and quitting smoking or drinking alcohol not only lower the risk of pregnancy complications, but also help maintain and improve health before and following pregnancy. For example, pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia, high blood pressure, and diabetes may be associated with weight gain, and experts agree that weight control and a healthy diet can be helpful in many ways to women’s health.
