Description
Ji Hoi Kim and thirteen co-authors used UK Biobank data to ask whether poverty sharpens the long-term heart risk that follows a troubled pregnancy, in a 2025 study. Both adverse pregnancy outcomes and low socioeconomic status are known to raise later cardiovascular risk. The team studied 146,064 women, recording pregnancy complications and several measures of status, from income to neighborhood deprivation.
Women with a complicated pregnancy history did face higher risk of new cardiovascular disease, and they also ranked lower on every status measure. The extra risk, though, was significant only in the low-status group, where it rose by about twenty-six percent. In the high-status group the increase was small and not significant. The authors say support should target poorer mothers.
