Their cardiovascular health (CVH) including prepregnancy body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, total cholesterol, fasting plasma glucose, and smoke status were recorded at 24\u201328\u2009weeks\u2019 gestation, as well as their reproductive history. Multivariate linear and logistic regression were performed to examine the association of pregnancy loss with cardiovascular health. And the role of hs-CRP between pregnancy loss and CVH was assessed by the mediation analysis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Compared with women who have no pregnancy loss, women with a history of spontaneous or induced abortions had higher BMI (\n \u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n , 0.72, 95%\n CI<\/jats:italic>\n , 0.50 to 0.94) and fasting plasma glucose (\n \u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n , 0.04, 95%\n CI<\/jats:italic>\n , 0.01 to 0.07), and had lower total CVH scores after adjusting for confounders (\n \u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n , \u22120.09, 95%\n CI<\/jats:italic>\n , \u22120.18 to \u22120.01). CVH scores were most significantly decreased among women with 3 or more induced abortions (\n \u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n , \u22120.26, 95%\n CI<\/jats:italic>\n , \u22120.49, \u22120.02). The contribution of pregnancy loss to poorer gestational CVH mediated by increased hs-CRP levels was 23.17%.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Previous pregnancy loss was associated with poorer cardiovascular health during gestation, which may be mediated by their gestational inflammatory status. Exposure to miscarriage alone was not a significant predictor of poorer CVH.<\/jats:p>\n
