* Adjusted by age at the pregnancy, the order of pregnancy compared to the first one, menarche ≤ 12 years, menstrual regularity (<4 days), menstrual cycle (<30 days), history of infertility therapy, history of oral contraceptive pill, familial history of premature CVD, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, stroke, angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction.
CVD = cardiovascular disease; GHD = gestational hypertensive disease; GDM = gestational diabetes mellitus; OR = odds ratio.
