Abstract
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are common complications associated with maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Insights gained from long-term cohort studies have revealed that women with a history of HDP are predisposed to recurrent HDP in subsequent pregnancies and face heightened risks for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases later in life. Pregnancy is a unique condition that overloads maternal cardiac and metabolic functions, and is recognized as a "maternal stress test" for future cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Pregnancy and postpartum period provide a valuable opportunity for identifying women with underlying and unrecognized cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors. Establishing an effective postpartum healthcare program for women who have experienced HDP is crucial in reducing the future risk of health complications. Postpartum care consists of supportive care for both mothers and children, including not only the assessment of physical and psychological well-being but also long-term postpartum preventive health management. Interpregnancy care is a continuum from postpartum care and includes supportive care to prepare for future pregnancies. Various initiatives across nations have been initiated to establish follow-up programs for women with a history of HDP; however, sufficient evidence of the impact of such programs is not available. Substantial challenges persist in establishing an efficient postpartum follow-up program, including educational strategies, selection of effective lifestyle interventions, and collaboration among various healthcare providers. This review outlines the postpartum and interpregnancy care of women who have experienced HDP as well as the current status and challenges of related healthcare initiatives in Japan.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that interpregnancy weight fluctuations impact perinatal outcomes. In order to examine this in Japanese women, we analyzed the data of 2,861 women in their first and second pregnancies who delivered singletons between 2000 and 2022. We compared the second pregnancy perinatal outcomes of women whose interpregnancy body mass index (BMI) change was -1 to 1 unit with those of women whose BMI change was < -1 or ≥ 1 unit. An interpregnancy BMI change ≥ 1 unit was associated with an increased risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.51; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.18-1.95) and delivering a large for gestational age neonate (aOR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.15-2.42) but a decreased risk of preterm birth (aOR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.46-0.95). An interpregnancy BMI change < -1 unit was associated with a decreased risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (aOR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.31-0.85). In a subgroup analysis of three groups divided according to prepregnancy BMI, interpregnancy BMI changes ≥ 1 unit in women with a BMI of < 18.5 kg/m2 before their first pregnancy were associated with a remarkable risk reduction of developing preterm birth (aOR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.11-0.81). Interpregnancy BMI changes < -1 unit in women with a BMI of ≥ 25 kg/m2 before their first pregnancy were associated with a remarkable risk reduction of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (aOR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.12-0.88). Weight gain during interpregnancy period was related to an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus and delivery of a large-for-gestational-age neonate, whereas weight loss was related to a decreased risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus. These results indicate the importance of interpregnancy weight control as part of preconception care; therefore, women considering additional pregnancies should be educated on the importance of maintaining a healthy weight.

Abstract
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) complicate 5-10% of pregnancies, with resultant lifelong increased risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aimed to describe lifestyle behaviours at 6 months post-HDP in four HDP subgroups, and their association with markers of cardiometabolic health. Subgroups were chronic hypertension (CH), gestational hypertension (GH), preeclampsia, and preeclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension (CH + PE). The BP2 study is a multi-site, three-arm, randomised controlled trial. At 6 months postpartum, the NSW Population Health Survey and BP2 surveys collected lifestyle behaviours and demographic data. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and blood pressure (BP) were also assessed. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA and Spearman's correlation coefficients were used. Of 484 women (16% CH, 23% GH, 55% preeclampsia, and 6% CH + PE), 62% were overweight or obese. Only 6% met the recommended five vegetable and two fruit serves per day, and 43% did not meet the recommended 150 min of moderate-vigorous physical activity in five sessions per week. Adherence to both diet and physical activity recommendations was correlated with more favourable cardiometabolic outcomes, including lower BMI, waist circumference, and systolic and diastolic BP. Lifestyle interventions that improve diet and physical activity post-HDP are needed to reduce BP, BMI, and long-term CVD in this high-risk population.

Evaluating glucose variability through OGTT in early pregnancy and its association with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in non-diabetic pregnancies: a large-scale multi-center retrospective study. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2023; 15:123.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent evidence suggests increased glucose variability (GV) causes endothelial dysfunction, a central pathology of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). We aimed to investigate the association between GV in early pregnancy and subsequent HDP development among non-diabetes mellitus (DM) pregnancies. METHODS This multicenter retrospective study used data from singleton pregnancies between 2009 and 2019. Among individuals who had 75 g-OGTT before 20 weeks of gestation, we evaluated GV by 75 g-OGTT parameters and examined its relationship with HDP development, defining an initial-increase from fasting-plasma glucose (PG) to 1-h-PG and subsequent-decrease from 1-h-PG to 2-h-PG. RESULTS Approximately 3.0% pregnancies (802/26,995) had 75 g-OGTT before 20 weeks of gestation, and they had a higher prevalence of HDP (14.3% vs. 7.5%). The initial-increase was significantly associated with overall HDP (aOR 1.20, 95% CI 1.02-1.42), and the subsequent-decrease was associated with decreased and increased development of early-onset (EoHDP: aOR 0.56, 95% CI 0.38-0.82) and late-onset HDP (LoHDP: aOR 1.38, 95% CI 1.11-1.73), respectively. CONCLUSIONS A pattern of marked initial-increase and minor subsequent-decrease (i.e., sustained hyperglycemia) was associated with EoHDP. Contrarily, the pattern of marked initial-increase and subsequent-decrease (i.e., increased GV) was associated with LoHDP. This provides a new perspective for future study strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulating studies suggest that strict lockdown with enforcement including segregation to control the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is associated with excess weight gain, but the such lockdown was not practiced in Japan. We aimed to compare the age-related weight gain before and after the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan where achieved epidemic control based on individual voluntary action. METHODS This multicenter retrospective cohort study used electronic data from annual health checkups for workers from January 2015 to December 2021 at four facilities belonging to the Central Clinic Group, Aichi, Japan. We defined pre-pandemic and post-pandemic periods as January 2015-December 2019 and January 2020-December 2021, respectively. Participants were grouped by sex, age, and body mass index (BMI) stratus as of 2015, and the pre-pandemic and post-pandemic age-related BMI changes in overall individuals and each specific group were compared using a paired t-test. RESULTS The total number of eligible participants was 19,290. During the pre-pandemic period, the mean BMI increased linearly in every group. The mean age-related BMI changes in females' pre-pandemic and post-pandemic periods were + 0.11 and + 0.02 kg/m2/year, respectively. This significant decrease was also shown in males, + 0.11 in the pre-pandemic and - 0.02 kg/m2/year in the post-pandemic periods. The reduction was consistently observed in all age strata. Furthermore, a significant reduction was also observed in the normal-weight females of reproductive ages aged 15-44 years. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report showing that age-related weight gain was reduced after the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, which could affect the reproductive age of females.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the strong link between cardiometabolic pregnancy complications and future heart disease, there are documented gaps in engaging those who experience such conditions in recommended postpartum follow-up and preventive care. The goal of our study was to understand how people in a Medicaid-insured population perceive and manage risks during and after pregnancy related to an ongoing cardiometabolic disorder. METHODS We conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with postpartum participants who had a cardiometabolic conditions during pregnancy (chronic or gestational diabetes, chronic or gestational hypertension, or preeclampsia). We recruited postpartum participants from a single safety-net hospital system in Atlanta, Georgia, and conducted virtual interviews during January through May 2021. We conducted a content analysis guided by the Health Belief Model and present themes related to risk management. RESULTS From the 28 interviews we conducted, we found that during pregnancy, advice and intervention by the clinical care team facilitated management behaviors for high-risk conditions. However, participants described limited understanding of how pregnancy complications might affect future outcomes, and few described engaging in postpartum management behaviors. CONCLUSION Improving continuity and content of care during postpartum may improve uptake of preventive behaviors among postpartum patients at risk of heart disease.

Optimal annual body mass index change for preventing spontaneous preterm birth in a subsequent pregnancy. Sci Rep 2022; 12:17502.

Abstract
Preterm birth (PTB) is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Although PTB is known to recur, interpregnancy preventive strategies for PTB have not been established to date. Annual BMI change can serve as a specific target value for preventing obstetric complications during interpregnancy care/counseling. This value can also account for age-related weight gain (0.2 kg/m2/year). In a multicenter retrospective study, we investigated the optimal annual BMI change for preventing PTB recurrence using the data of individuals who had two singleton births from 2009 to 2019. The association between annual BMI change and spontaneous PTB (sPTB) was analyzed by separating cases of medically indicated PTB (mPTB) from those of sPTB. Previous history of sPTB was strongly associated with sPTB in the subsequent pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 12.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 6.5-24.8). Increase in annual BMI was negatively associated with sPTB (aOR, 0.6; 95% CI 0.5-0.9). The sPTB recurrence rate was significantly lower in patients with an annual BMI change of ≥ 0.25 kg/m2/year than in those with an annual BMI change of < 0.25 kg/m2/year (7.7% vs. 35.0%, p = 0.011). Our findings suggest that age-related annual BMI gain between pregnancies may help prevent sPTB recurrence.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Weight change during the interpregnancy is related to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in the subsequent pregnancy. In interpregnancy care/counseling, the timeframe for goal setting is important, while the timing of the next conception is unpredictable and preventing age-related body weight gain is difficult. This study aimed to investigate the association between annual weight gain during the interpregnancy, which provide clearer timeframe, and GDM in subsequent pregnancies. METHODS This multicenter retrospective study was conducted by collecting data on two pregnancies of the same women in 2009-2019. The association between annual BMI gain and GDM during the subsequent pregnancy was examined. RESULTS This study included 1,640 pregnant women. A history of GDM [adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 26.22; 95% confidence interval (CI), 14.93-46.07] and annual BMI gain (aOR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.22-1.81) were related to GDM during the subsequent pregnancy. In the women with a pre-pregnant BMI of <25.0 kg/m2 and without GDM during the index pregnancy, an annual BMI gain of ≥0.6 kg/m2/year during the interpregnancy were associated with GDM in subsequent pregnancies; however, in the other subgroups, it was not associated with GDM in subsequent pregnancies. CONCLUSIONS For women with a pre-pregnant BMI of <25.0 kg/m2 and without GDM during the index pregnancy, maintaining an annual BMI gain of <0.6 kg/m2/year may prevent GDM during the subsequent pregnancy.
