Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) with gestational hypertension and new-onset proteinuria and/or maternal organ dysfunction and/or uteroplacental dysfunction at or after 20 weeks of gestation [PE and other HDPs are related with preterm birth and with important perinatal mortality and morbidity [We hypothesized that PE children develop alterations in BPs early in life and that this is reflected in PP, arterial stiffness, and the cardiovascular risk profile overall. Our aim was to prospectively compare children 8–12 years following PE with age matched children without PE or HDP. Our maternal, gestational, and perinatal data set is comprehensive, and we also assessed offspring body anthropometrics and composition, lipids, glucose, and inflammatory markers.
