Summary:IntroductionAdverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are associated with impaired vascular function in young adult women, and increased blood pressure and CVD risk later in life. HypothesesWe hypothesized that exposure to ACEs would be associated with an increased risk of first trimester hypertension and subsequently with hypertensive complications during pregnancy. MethodsExposure to ACEs, self-reported incidence of first trimester hypertension (HT) and hypertensive complications in pregnancy (HTCs), as well as age, education, chronic health conditions, gravidity and BMI were obtained from women enrolled in a clinic-based longitudinal study of women ages 16-38 who were enrolled in their first prenatal visit.
