Association between Parity and Blood Pressure in Korean Women: Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2010-2012

Abstract: BackgroundPregnancy considerably alters cardiovascular dynamics, and thereby affects the transition of blood pressure after delivery in women. We aimed to analyze the association between parity and blood pressure in Korean adult women.MethodsWe included 8,890 women who participated in Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2010 and 2012. We divided the population according to the menopause status and analyzed the association between parity and blood pressure by using multiple regressio… Show more

“…A general assumption for the generated trajectories of physiological changes was that the prepregnant levels are eventually attained which might not always be the case. For example, pregnancy is known to result in long-term vascular remodeling; specifically, in non-pregnant women without cardiovascular disease, parity has been found to be significantly associated with blood pressure [50,51], aortic root size [52] and carotid distensibility [53]. Yet, it is unknown whether this vascular remodeling affects relevant model parameters, such as organ blood flows.…”

“…Most researchers have studied postmenopausal women and reported an increased risk of CVD with parity or a J-shaped association with two births as the nadir of risk 5–11. Premenopausal risk of CVD and hypertension has only been examined in few studies that show inconclusive findings 12 13. None of these studies followed women through their reproductive period, considered the potential different risks during and between pregnancies or accounted for the mother’s history of pregnancy loss, even though the metabolic changes that resemble a cardiovascular risk profile occur in all pregnancies, also when the pregnancy does not result in a live birth.…”

“…In a Swiss cohort study [ 9 ], parity was associated with lower blood pressure before 60 years, but with a higher blood pressure after 60 years of age. Other cross-sectional studies examining blood pressure or risk of hypertension by parity status have reported either no significant association [ 13 – 15 ] or lower blood pressure among parous women [ 10 , 11 ], with stronger association seen in premenopausal women [ 10 , 11 ].…”
