While these biomarkers are used for predicting and diagnosing preeclampsia, their impact on postnatal neonatal nutritional management, growth, and body composition is not well-established. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the association between maternal angiogenic markers, neonatal growth, and body composition. Methods: This study represents a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study conducted at the Medical University of Vienna. Women with HDP were included in the analysis, and infants were stratified by gestational age at birth into preterm (&lt;37 weeks of gestation) and term (\u226537 weeks of gestation) groups. Maternal angiogenic markers were routinely measured at the time when HDP was first suspected, and neonatal body composition was assessed at term-equivalent age. Results: A total of 335 infants were screened, 94 of which (preterm: n = 72; term: n = 22) were included. Higher sFlt-1\/PlGF ratios were significantly correlated with lower fat-free mass (FFM) z-scores (rs = \u22120.408; p = 0.004), but not with fat mass (FM) z-scores (p = 0.21), weight (p = 0.19), length (p = 0.31), or head circumference z-scores (p = 0.32) in preterm infants. In a linear regression model adjusted for potential neonatal confounders, higher sFlt-1\/PlGF ratios were independently and significantly associated with lower FFM in preterm infants (median: \u22120.10, 95% CI: \u22120.2, 0.00; p = 0.036). In term infants, sFlt-1\/PLGF ratios were not significantly correlated with FFM (p = 0.86), FM z-scores (p = 0.41), weight (p = 0.10), length (p = 0.12), or head circumference z-scores (p = 0.2). Conclusions: These findings suggest that the sFlt-1\/PLGF ratio is not only a well-established marker of HDP severity during pregnancy but may also be associated with adverse effects on body composition in preterm infants, particularly in fat-free mass (FFM).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu18162653","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]],"date-time":"2026-08-14T08:08:29Z","timestamp":1786694909000},"page":"2653","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Association Between Maternal Angiogenic Markers in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy and Neonatal Growth and Body Composition"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3222-5322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nawa","family":"Schirwani-Hartl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Obstetrics and Fetomaternal Medicine, Medical University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5725-9270","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julia","family":"Binder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Obstetrics and Fetomaternal Medicine, Medical University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pilar","family":"Palmrich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Obstetrics and Fetomaternal Medicine, Medical University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Longford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mohn Centre for Children\u2019s Health and Wellbeing, School of Public Health, Imperial College London, London SW10 9NH, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elisabeth","family":"Calek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comprehensive Center for Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Division of Neonatology, Intensive Care and Neuropediatrics, Medical University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karin","family":"Harreiter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comprehensive Center for Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Division of Neonatology, Intensive Care and Neuropediatrics, Medical University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1051-1141","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandra","family":"Thajer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comprehensive Center for Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Division of Neonatology, Intensive Care and Neuropediatrics, Medical University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8775-2405","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angelika","family":"Berger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comprehensive Center for Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Division of Neonatology, Intensive Care and Neuropediatrics, Medical University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Herbert","family":"Kiss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Obstetrics and Fetomaternal Medicine, Medical University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7939-246X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christoph","family":"Binder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comprehensive Center for Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Division of Neonatology, Intensive Care and Neuropediatrics, Medical University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2002","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(00)05112-6","article-title":"Pregnancy complications and maternal risk of ischaemic heart disease: A retrospective cohort study of 129,290 births","volume":"357","author":"Smith","year":"2001","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (2022).
