Association between the reproductive health of young women and cardiovascular disease in later life: umbrella review
Open accessAbstract
Objective: To consolidate evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses investigating the association between reproductive factors in women of reproductive age and their subsequent risk of cardiovascular disease. Design: Umbrella review. Data sources: Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases for systematic reviews and meta-analyses from inception until 31 August 2019. Review methods: Two independent reviewers undertook screening, data extraction, and quality appraisal. The population was women of reproductive age. Exposures were fertility related factors and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Outcome was cardiovascular diseases in women, including ischaemic heart disease, heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, and stroke. Results: 32 reviews were included, evaluating multiple risk factors over an average follow-up period of 7-10 years. All except three reviews were of moderate quality. A narrative evidence synthesis with forest plots and tabular presentations was performed. Associations for composite cardiovascular disease were: twofold for pre-eclampsia, stillbirth, and preterm birth; 1.5-1.9-fold for gestational hypertension, placental abruption, gestational diabetes, and premature ovarian insufficiency; and less than 1.5-fold for early menarche, polycystic ovary syndrome, ever parity, and early menopause. A longer length of breastfeeding was associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. The associations for ischaemic heart disease were twofold or greater for pre-eclampsia, recurrent pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, and preterm birth; 1.5-1.9-fold for current use of combined oral contraceptives (oestrogen and progesterone), recurrent miscarriage, premature ovarian insufficiency, and early menopause; and less than 1.5-fold for miscarriage, polycystic ovary syndrome, and menopausal symptoms. For stroke outcomes, the associations were twofold or more for current use of any oral contraceptive (combined oral contraceptives or progesterone only pill), pre-eclampsia, and recurrent pre-eclampsia; 1.5-1.9-fold for current use of combined oral contraceptives, gestational diabetes, and preterm birth; and less than 1.5-fold for polycystic ovary syndrome. The association for heart failure was fourfold for pre-eclampsia. No association was found between cardiovascular disease outcomes and current use of progesterone only contraceptives, use of non-oral hormonal contraceptive agents, or fertility treatment. Conclusions: From menarche to menopause, reproductive factors were associated with cardiovascular disease in women. In this review, presenting absolute numbers on the scale of the problem was not feasible; however, if these associations are causal, they could account for a large proportion of unexplained risk of cardiovascular disease in women, and the risk might be modifiable. Identifying reproductive risk factors at an early stage in the life of women might facilitate the initiation of strategies to modify potential risks. Policy makers should consider incorporating reproductive risk factors as part of the assessment of cardiovascular risk in clinical guidelines. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD42019120076.

TL;DR
This umbrella review consolidates systematic reviews and meta-analyses on reproductive factors in women of reproductive age and later cardiovascular disease. It reports that multiple fertility-related factors and adverse pregnancy outcomes are associated with increased cardiovascular risk, while longer breastfeeding is associated with reduced risk.
Key findings
- Among 32 included reviews, composite cardiovascular disease associations were twofold for pre-eclampsia, stillbirth, and preterm birth; 1.5-1.9-fold for gestational hypertension, placental abruption, gestational diabetes, and premature ovarian insufficiency; and less than 1.5-fold for early menarche, polycystic ovary syndrome, ever parity, and early menopause. Longer breastfeeding was associated with reduced cardiovascular disease risk.
- For ischaemic heart disease, associations were twofold or greater for pre-eclampsia, recurrent pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, and preterm birth; 1.5-1.9-fold for current combined oral contraceptive use, recurrent miscarriage, premature ovarian insufficiency, and early menopause; and less than 1.5-fold for miscarriage, polycystic ovary syndrome, and menopausal symptoms.
- For stroke, associations were twofold or more for current use of any oral contraceptive, pre-eclampsia, and recurrent pre-eclampsia; 1.5-1.9-fold for current combined oral contraceptive use, gestational diabetes, and preterm birth; and less than 1.5-fold for polycystic ovary syndrome. Pre-eclampsia was associated with a fourfold risk of heart failure.
- No association was found between cardiovascular disease outcomes and current use of progesterone only contraceptives, use of non-oral hormonal contraceptive agents, or fertility treatment.
Methods
- Umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses; population was women of reproductive age; exposures were fertility-related factors and adverse pregnancy outcomes; outcomes included ischaemic heart disease, heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, stroke, and composite cardiovascular disease.
- Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched from inception until 31 August 2019; PRISMA guidelines were followed and the protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42019120076).
- Two reviewers independently screened, extracted data, and appraised quality with AMSTAR 2; overlapping reviews were assessed with corrected covered area, outdated reviews were excluded, and findings were synthesised narratively with forest plots and tables.
Limitations
- The paper states that missing metadata, including participant and event numbers, hindered reporting; systematic reviews on endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, first trimester bleeding without miscarriage, and anaemia in pregnancy could not be identified; some reviews were rated low quality and none high quality; and included evidence was observational, with possible residual confounding, imprecise results from few events, cross-sectional designs, heterogeneity, incomplete publication bias assessment, and self-reported data.
- The paper also states that presenting absolute numbers on the scale of the problem was not feasible, that causality is unclear, and that the exact magnitude of preventable cardiovascular disease attributable to reproductive risk factors is uncertain.

The Discussion reports that women with four or more children had greater carotid intima-media thickness and more than twice the odds of carotid plaque than nulliparous women. The Abstract reports an association between higher parity and carotid atherosclerosis in both younger and older women. The study measured subclinical atherosclerosis, however; it did not establish an increased rate of clinical cardiovascular disease or show that an accelerated atherosclerotic process caused it.

The paper relies on this without support.
The associations between reproductive factors and cardiovascular disease observed in the included observational studies are not entirely due to residual confounding.
“the reviews included were necessarily based on observational evidence; consequently, as noted by Grandi et al,60 the possibility of confounding remains because of unknown confounders or lack of adjustment for known confounders”
The paper relies on this without support.
The included systematic reviews and meta-analyses provide valid estimates of the associations between reproductive factors and cardiovascular disease.
“This detailed umbrella review synthesised existing systematic reviews and meta-analyses into one user friendly document”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
