❤️ Preeclampsia and gestational diabetes can affect the heart health of both mother and child, suggests a new study led by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

The study, which included 3,317 mother-child pairs, examined the childrens' BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose at ages 10 to 14 using data from the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome (HAPO) study.

“This presents an opportunity for us to intervene early in childhood and recommend healthy changes for the family to help improve their child’s health later in life,” said lead researcher Kartik Venkatesh. bit.ly/43CRRHo
