The link between women's reproductive and cardiovascular health is increasingly recognised. Some, but not all studies have shown that women who experience night sweats and/or hot flushes as part of the menopausal transition are more likely to have heart disease. We also know that women who have complications during pregnancy are at greater risk of heart disease later in life. Here we would like to investigate the associations between all of pregnancy complications, menopausal symptoms and cardiovascular health in a general population of women, the ALSPAC mothers. We will also use genetics data to examine whether genetic risk for for more adverse cardiovascular health are associated with pregnancy complications and/or vasomotor symptoms.
