❤️ Preeclampsia and gestational diabetes can affect the heart health of both mother and child, suggests a new study led by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

The study, which included 3,317 mother-child pairs, examined the childrens' BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose at ages 10 to 14 using data from the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome (HAPO) study.
