Implication

Cross-sectional analysis compares postpartum body composition in women with hypertensive disorders and normotensive pregnancies, suggesting ethnicity and health predictors influence outcomes.

Key Points

Average postpartum body fat percentage was highest in women with gestational hypertension, followed by those with preeclampsia and normotensive pregnancies.
Among the 388 women studied, the 10th-90th percentile for body fat percentage in normotensive women was 24-47%.
Cross-sectional analysis from the P4 cohort study assessed body composition six months postpartum.
Experiencing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is associated with higher postpartum body fat percentage, raising obesity risks.
