What is the implication that lifestyle interventions in women with preeclampsia might be effective?
Research suggests that lifestyle interventions in women with preeclampsia could reduce the risk of stroke in this population. A limited number of studies have examined cardiovascular and stroke risk factors and documented increased risk for events long-term in women with these disorders, and the OR for the effect of lifestyle interventions on the risk for CVD after a preeclamptic pregnancy was found to be 0.91. These findings suggest that lifestyle interventions in these women might be effective, and prospective studies are warranted to further investigate this association.
