Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Inclusion Criteria:
  • Families are recruited from the FINNPEC cohort. In FINNPEC, PE was defined as hypertension and proteinuria occurring after 20 weeks gestation (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists 2002 criteria). Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg. Proteinuria was defined as urinary excretion of ≥0.3 g protein in a 24-hour specimen, or 0.3 g/L, or two ≥1+ readings on a dipstick in a random urine determination with no evidence of a urinary tract infection. Each PE diagnosis was ascertained based on hospital records and confirmed independently by a research nurse and a study physician in the original FINNPEC case-control study including 1450 nulliparous or multiparous women with a singleton pregnancy with PE and 1065 pregnant control women without PE (aged 18-47 years) from all 5 university hospitals in Finland during 2008-2011.
  • Exclusion criteria in the FINNPEC: multiple pregnancy, inability to speak Finnish or Swedish.
  • Exclusion Criteria in the FINNCARE:
  • Pregnancy and/or lactation (for all mothers)
  • Pre-eclampsia in any previous or subsequent pregnancies (for all non-PE mothers)
