Referent for all models is women with term births. Intermediates (systolic blood pressure [SBP], smoking, and apolipoprotein B [mg/dl]) measured at the cardiovascular screening visit 4–12 years after delivery

Other lesions include AIUI (n=30), villitis (n=6), fetal thrombosis (n=20), chorangiosis (n=9); Women with preterm birth and no lesions excluded (n=1)
