Description
Amanuel Gebremedhin and co-authors link weather stress in pregnancy to high blood pressure disorders in Australia. Their 2024 study uses 415,091 singleton pregnancies in Western Australia from 2000 to 2015. Pregnancies ran from twenty to forty two weeks. Exposure was a thermal index that blends heat, wind, and other factors. Windows ran from twelve weeks before conception through pregnancy.
Cases of pregnancy hypertension were 3.7 percent, and preeclampsia 2.8 percent. Exposure from early pregnancy to week thirty tracked with higher odds of both disorders. Risk peaked at both low and high ends of the index, against the median. The sharpest weekly risk sat in weeks eight to eighteen for hypertension. For preeclampsia it sat in weeks eleven to sixteen. Effects were higher in some groups, the authors report.
