They comprised 4,848 participants, of which 809 (16.7%) had HDP and 4,724 (97.4%) were environmentally exposed to Hg (fish consumption and dental amalgam). Mercury biomarkers evaluated were blood (four studies) and urine (two studies). Two studies found a positive association between Hg and HDP in the group with more exposure, and the other four did not present it. The quality assessment revealed three satisfactory and three good-rated studies (mean: 19.3\u2009\u00b1\u20091.6 out 28 points). The absence or no proper adjustment for negative confounding factor, such as fish consumption, was observed in five studies.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003We retrieved only six studies, although Hg is a widespread toxic metal and pregnancy is a period of heightened susceptibility to environmental threats and cardiovascular risk. Overall, our review showed mixed results, with two studies reporting a positive association in the group with more exposure. However, due to the importance of the subject, additional studies are needed to elucidate the effects of Hg on HDP, with particular attention to adjusting negative confounding.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1760215","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,29]],"date-time":"2022-12-29T23:45:53Z","timestamp":1672357553000},"page":"1126-1133","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Maternal
