Summary

This study looks at how a pregnant woman's heart health, measured by the American Heart Association's 'Life's Essential 8' checklist, relates to outcomes for her and her baby. Researchers will follow 5,000 pregnant women in China, collecting surveys and medical data. The goal is to create heart health standards tailored to pregnancy, potentially reducing complications like high blood pressure and preterm birth.
