Maternal cardiovascular health and offspring neurodevelopment within the first five years of life: a birth cohort study
Our study provides novel evidence that maternal cardiovascular health during pregnancy is associated with offspring neurodevelopment within the first five years of life and that female offspring appear to derive greater benefit from higher maternal cardiovascular health scores. The potential role of maternal cardiovascular health in identifying risk of neurodevelopmental delay in clinical practice needs to be further explored.
