“…The higher rate of good QOL in PPW (~70%) than in PW (~40%) in our study may be due to the relief of the PPW from the burden of carrying the child from factors such as weight gain and limited activity during pregnancy [22,23]. Postpartum depression in our cohort (~5.7%) was less than in those reported in previous studies [9,8,10–12], confirming that our postpartum-women cohort might have quite good mental health consistent with the high QOL found in the study (i.e., poor QOL was not observed).…”

“…But it is still unclear whether mental health problems and stress affect the health behavior or pregnant women or whether health-damaging behaviors lead to depression or anxiety [45]. As manifestations of depressive or anxious symptoms were not usually collected prior to pregnancy, the findings described here must be interpreted, for the time being, as co-morbidities [42]. Obstetrical and pregnancy-specific factors can also play an important role in the development of depression and anxiety.…”

“…Overweight and obese women were also more likely to have symptoms of depression during pregnancy and after the birth compared to normal-weight women [41]. Likewise, obese pregnant women appeared to have more symptoms of anxiety, although the overall findings on this point are less conclusive because of the limited number of studies and their lack of methodological quality [42]. Pre-pregnancy body mass index is the most important health-related risk factor for excessive weight gain during pregnancy and can easily be measured during a routine antenatal check-up.…”

!In recent decades, the understanding of the short and longer term effects of health-damaging behaviors and mental health problems in pregnant women and the underlying mechanisms of these behaviors and illnesses has significantly increased. In contrast, little is known about the factors affecting individual pregnant women which contribute to health-damaging behaviors and mental illness. The aim of this paper was therefore to summarize the current state of research into the consequences of nicotine and alcohol consumption, malnutrition, excessive weight gain or obesity, and impaired mental health (depression and anxiety) during pregnancy. In addition, the characteristics of pregnant women which increase their risk of developing such behaviors or mental disorders are described. A better knowledge of these risks should make it easier for clinicians to identify cases at risk early on and put measures of support in place. A review of the literature has shown that certain characteristics of pregnant women (e.g. her relationship with her partner, a previous history of mental illness prior to pregnancy) are associated with various healthdamaging behaviors as well as with impaired mental health. Affected women often show an accumulated psychosocial stress which was already present prior to the pregnancy and which may persist even after the birth of the child.

“…Overweight and obese pregnant women might constitute a subgroup that is especially vulnerable for comorbid anxiety [46], and anxiety and depression have been associated with the risk of preeclampsia [47, 48]. Unfortunately, we did not have any information on personality traits or anxiety disorders of the study subjects.…”

An RGS2 3′UTR polymorphism is associated with preeclampsia in overweight women

et al. 2016

BackgroundPreeclampsia is a common and heterogeneous vascular syndrome of pregnancy. Its genetic risk profile is yet unknown and may vary between individuals and populations. The rs4606 3′ UTR polymorphism of the Regulator of G-protein signaling 2 gene (RGS2) in the mother has been implicated in preeclampsia as well as in the development of chronic hypertension after preeclampsia. The RGS2 protein acts as an inhibitor of physiological vasoconstrictive pathways, and a low RGS2 level is associated with hypertension and obesity, two conditions that predispose to preeclampsia. We genotyped the rs4606 polymorphism in 1339 preeclamptic patients and in 697 controls from the Finnish Genetics of Preeclampsia Consortium (FINNPEC) cohort to study the association of the variant with preeclampsia.ResultsNo association between rs4606 and preeclampsia was detected in the analysis including all women. However, the polymorphism was associated with preeclampsia in a subgroup of overweight women (body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2, and < 30 kg/m2) (dominant model; odds ratio, 1.64; 95 % confidence interval, 1.10–2.42).ConclusionsOur results suggest that RGS2 might be involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia particularly in overweight women and contribute to their increased risk for hypertension and other types of cardiovascular disease later in life.
