The study, published in Hypertension And supported by the National Institutes of Health, studied if mothers who declared higher perceived stress and depressed symptoms during pregnancy developed higher blood pressure during the four -year period after birth. The results have shown higher stress and depressed symptoms during pregnancy were associated with greater blood pressure during the first post-partum year, but associations decreased later.

“Pregnancy is a complex period when women are experiencing different physiological changes,” said Noelle Pardo, the main study of the study and a third -year doctoral student in the Population Department and the Public Health Sciences of the Keck School of Medicine. “This study is based on maternal health research to understand how stress factors have an impact on women’s lives and their health after pregnancy.”

The study included data from 225 mothers from the Madre pregnancy cohort which consists mainly of Hispanic women, and low -income participants living in Los Angeles. Hispanic women have a high cardiovascular risk burden, and there is increasing evidence connecting psychosocial stressors to poor cardiovascular health, which is a main death cause of women in the United States.

In addition to the prenatal psychosocial stress, Pardo explored whether the prenatal social cohesion of the neighborhood was a protective factor in the risk of postpartum hypertension – a first survey of this type. This refers to the feeling of connection and trusts a pregnant woman in her community. According to its results, the social structures which favored cohesion may have had a positive influence throughout pregnancy in the postpartum period and were associated with lower blood pressure.

“We have chosen social cohesion as a variable to understand how the participants felt connected to their community. At the moment, there are not many programs or policies that help promote cohesion, but such interventions can serve as a new protective factor,” she said.

According to Pardo, maternal health research has mainly focused on pregnancy results, with limited studies studying the mother’s health after birth. However, its results have shown how crucial this research is in identifying the conditions rooted during pregnancy.

The actual application of this study calls for the identification of vulnerable people in the pregnant population, offering interventions to reduce stress and depressive symptoms. Likewise, he highlights the importance of monitoring women’s health after birth, thanks to the provision of additional hypertension screening among mothers who experience higher prenatal stress.

“Pregnancy can be important to determine the long-term cardiovascular health of a woman. Likewise, additional research is necessary to determine how the different exposure during pregnancy can transmit future cardiovascular risk for women,” she concludes.
