简介
Background
Pregnancy alters metabolic and hormonal profiles influencing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Yet, studies of association between parity and carotid atherosclerosis reported conflicting results and were mainly from Western women with limited number of births.
Methods
Using intima-media thickness (IMT) as a surrogate marker for atherosclerosis, we investigated the association between parity and IMT among 721 female participants (mean age 37.5 years at baseline) randomly selected from the Health Effect of Arsenic Longitudinal Study (HEALS), a population-based cohort study in Bangladesh. We used multivariate linear regression to assess the association and to control for potential confounders including age, smoking, betel use, BMI, education, SBP, DBP and diabetes at baseline.
