Prenatal and Perinatal Factors of Life’s Essential 8 Cardiovascular Health Trajectories
In this cohort study, prepregnancy overweight or obesity, smoking during pregnancy, and formula-feeding in the first 6 months of life were each associated with adverse CVH trajectories early in life. Future work should examine whether interventions that address these factors would be effective in optimizing CVH in children.
