Persistent Short Sleep Duration From Pregnancy to 2 to 7 Years After Delivery and Metabolic Health.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Short sleep duration during pregnancy and the perimenopausal period has been associated with adverse cardiometabolic outcomes. However, it remains unclear how sleep duration changes after delivery and whether such changes are associated with the cardiometabolic health of birthing people.

Objective

To investigate whether persistently short sleep during pregnancy and after delivery is associated with incident hypertension and metabolic syndrome.
