Life stressors, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and gestational diabetes by race/ethnicity
Greater SLE is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Black women continue to experience higher SLEs and are at higher risk of HTN before pregnancy and PIH. The findings of this study indicate there is an interplay between SLEs, HTN before pregnancy, PIH, and GDM, as well as race/ethnicity. This information is vital for public health efforts to reduce the disparities in adverse pregnancy outcomes.
