Absolute % difference, 2016-2020 −2.5 −3.4 −1.2 −2.1
Average annual percent change 2016-2020 (95% CI) −1.1 (−1.3 to −0.8) −1.4 (−1.8 to −1.0) −0.7 (−1.3 to −0.1) −0.8 (−1.3 to −0.3)
a

Cardiovascular risk factors: prepregnancy obesity, prepregnancy diabetes, prepregnancy hypertension, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes, and preterm birth.

b

Percent (95% CI) values for No. of cardiovascular disease risk factors were age standardized, and they were weighted to account for the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System sampling design.

c

Adjusted for maternal age, education (≤high school or > high school), and postpartum insurance type (any private insurance or no private insurance). The overall rate ratio was additionally adjusted for year of delivery.
