..We assessed the accuracy and reliability of maternal recall of infant birth weight 35 to 70 years after delivery...

..Women who have delivered a preterm infant are at elevated risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), but mechanisms for this association are not understood...

..The results indicate that some metabolic factors together with inflammation may be related to the risk of sPTB...

..We hypothesized that women with small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates would have lower concentrations of leptin compared to women with appropriately grown infants (AGA)...

..Women who deliver preterm infants may be at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, perhaps related to dyslipidemia...

..Study results indicate lower rates of severe preterm births and extreme SGA in women who report periconceptional vitamin use, although these should be considered cautiously until replicated...

..We estimated the population attributable fractions of severe or early PE associated with pre-existing conditions among nulliparous and multiparous women...

..5-13.1) in women with preeclampsia, hyperuricemia, and elevated cFN compared with normotensive women. Elevated cFN is prevalent among women with preeclampsia and identifies women at increased risk of preterm delivery and SGA...

..To determine whether parity is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) after accounting for perinatal complications...

..One SNP in the VDR gene among white women and 3 SNP in black women were significantly associated with SGA. Our results suggest that vitamin D has a complex relation with fetal growth that may vary by race...

..The intake of periconceptional multivitamins may decrease the risk of preterm births (PTBs) or small-for-gestational-age (SGA) births...

..The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between TAT in asymptomatic subjects at 24 and 28 weeks and spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB)...

..The purpose of this study was to assess monthly patterns in preeclampsia risk separately by race/ethnicity...

..Trait anxiety was associated with a reduction in gestational age and increased risk for preterm birth among African American women. Interventions that reduce anxiety among African American pregnant women may improve pregnancy outcomes...

..Preterm birth (PTB) has been associated with a later increased risk of maternal cardiovascular disease (CVD). We hypothesized a more pronounced relation between early or recurrent PTB and maternal CVD risk...

..Preterm birth is associated with maternal cardiovascular risk, but mechanisms are unknown...

..The rise in maternal obesity highlights that maternal and newborn vitamin D deficiency will continue to be a serious public health problem until steps are taken to identify and treat low 25(OH)D...

..To identify factors associated with SGA that may involve a placental pathogenesis, we related chronic hypertension and other maternal factors that may be markers of endothelial dysfunction to preterm compared with term SGA births...

..Vitamin D has direct influence on molecular pathways proposed to be important in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, yet the vitamin D-preeclampsia relation has not been studied...

..Therefore, trends could be obtained from the decades-old serum data that would be relevant in exploring vitamin D-related hypotheses in future studies...

..Regular periconceptional multivitamin use was associated with a reduced risk of preeclampsia among normal-weight women, and the immediate postconception period appeared to be the relevant exposure window...

..Prepregnancy overweight is a risk factor for mild preeclampsia and mild transient hypertension of pregnancy. Its association with severe subtypes of these disorders has received less attention...

..We examined whether air pollution influences serum concentrations of C-reactive protein in early pregnancy...

..To examine whether high insulin resistance versus high inflammation identifies subtypes of preeclampsia...

..A wide public health net that brings all women into care is necessary to reduce perinatal transmission further...

..To estimate whether women who deliver small babies due to preterm birth or growth restriction have excess risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes later in life...

..9) vs. recalled GWG: 1.3 (0.7, 2.3)) and excessive GWG and preterm birth (documented: 2.5 (1.4, 4.5) vs. recalled GWG: 1.5 (0.9, 2.7)). Our data suggest a varying degree of bias when using recalled GWG to study selected adverse outcomes...
