Maternal adiposity and energy balance after normotensive and preeclamptic pregnancies
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism Apr 13, 2021
McLennan SL, Henry A, Roberts LM, et al. - Researchers conducted this cross-sectional study to describe energy intake and expenditure six months following normotensive (n=75) and preeclamptic (n=22) pregnancies and investigate associations between energy balance, body composition, insulin resistance measures (HOMA-IR), and clinical characteristics. Six months following preeclampsia, women had significantly higher weight, fat mass percentage (FM%), and insulin resistance, as well as reduced HDL levels compared with normotensive women. Increased insulin resistance and FM%, lower HDL, and more sedentary lifestyles characterise the postpartum period after preeclamptic pregnancies compared with normotensive pregnancies. Early post-preeclampsia interventions like lifestyle changes, should be implemented and evaluated to see if they reduce long-term cardiometabolic risk in pregnant women who had preeclampsia.
