Obesity’s mediation of age at first childbirth and hypertension-diabetes comorbidity in Chinese minority postmenopausal women
Key Points
Hypertension-diabetes comorbidity is significantly influenced by age at first childbirth and obesity.
Women who had their first child later in life may face different health risks, particularly related to obesity.
Observational analysis in minority Chinese postmenopausal women highlights important health factors.
Understanding these links may enable better health strategies for at-risk populations.
Abstract
In postmenopausal women of minority Chinese descent, age at first childbirth is significantly associated with HDC. Obesity mediates the effect of age at first childbirth on the development of the HDC.
