Having a baby at a very young age increases a mother’s risk of heart failure and stroke by 25%. In this respect informs TASS.
These conclusions were made by doctors at Imperial College London as a result of analyzing the health status and DNA of 100,000 American and British women. The scientists were interested in the genome structure of the study participants, the number of children, information about the birth of the first child, and other data on reproductive health. The study’s authors sought to determine the relationship between reproductive behavior and the health status of the heart and blood vessels.
Calculations showed that some reproductive factors affect the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Having a child, especially in the first years after puberty, increases the risk of stroke and heart failure by 25%, and the probability of coronary heart disease in the following years by 49%. Similarly, having more than two children almost tripled the risk of developing atrial fibrillation and doubled the chances of stroke and ischemia.
