APOs included hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (gestational hypertension and preeclampsia\/eclampsia), gestational diabetes mellitus, preterm birth, and low birth weight. Generalized additive mixed models were used to characterize longitudinal changes in systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP). Group-based trajectory modeling was applied to identify distinct BP trajectory groups. Multinomial logistic regression with marginal standardization estimated adjusted risk ratio (aRR).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>During a mean follow-up of 9.2\u202fyears, SBP showed a nonlinear increase, with an average slope of 1.13\u202fmmHg\/year (95% CI, 0.93\u20131.33) during the first 6.4\u202fyears, followed by slower increases of 0.73 and 0.59\u202fmmHg\/year during 6.4\u201310 and 10\u201315\u202fyears, respectively. DBP showed a near-linear increasing pattern, whereas MAP increased linearly. Three trajectory groups were identified for each BP component. APOs were associated with higher risks of high-level SBP (aRR\u202f=\u202f1.64; 95% CI: 1.19\u20132.66), DBP (aRR\u202f=\u202f1.61, 95% CI: 1.24\u20131.87), and MAP (aRR\u202f=\u202f2.11, 95% CI: 1.16\u20133.64) trajectories compared with membership in the low-level BP trajectory groups. Associations varied across APOs subtypes. GDM and PTB were associated with higher risk of membership in the high-level SBP, DBP, and MAP trajectory groups compared with the corresponding low-level trajectory groups.<\/jats:p>\n
