Pregnancy as Prediction
What pregnancy reveals about a woman's lifelong health
Preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm birth. They don't end at delivery. They're warning signs.
Pregnancy is the biggest stress test the body goes through, and what it reveals does not end at delivery. Women who have had preeclampsia face a higher lifetime risk of heart disease, stroke and hypertension; gestational diabetes sharply raises the risk of type 2 diabetes. Yet once the baby arrives, the file often closes and the warning goes unread.
Prof. Liona Poon showed how pregnancy can be read as a blueprint for a woman's lifelong health, and what becomes possible when we finally start reading it.
