"Pregnancy Complications Tied to Long-Term Early Death Risk, Study Reveals"

A new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine suggests that pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, may be linked to an increased risk of early death even decades after giving birth. The study, which analyzed data on over 2 million women in Sweden, found that women who experienced major pregnancy complications had a higher mortality risk for more than 40 years after delivery. The research highlights the importance of identifying high-risk women during pregnancy and providing early interventions to protect their long-term health. The study also emphasizes the need for close follow-up with primary care doctors and lifestyle interventions to lower the risk of pregnancy complications and improve overall health.
