Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared); CVD, cardiovascular disease; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; HDP, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

^aEstimates are adjusted for age, highest obtained educational level, ever smoked daily, parity at younger than age 40 years, maternal birth year, and family history of coronary heart disease.

^bWe calculated the percentage excess risk associated with each risk factor by dividing the β coefficient for the part of the association between HDP and CVD that was associated with the cardiovascular risk factor(s) with the β coefficient for the total association between HDP and CVD.
