Core Tip
Core Tip: Postpartum hypertension is a critical health concern that affects a substantial proportion of women. Our study, conducted in Shanghai's community, identified advanced maternal age, high pre-pregnancy body mass index, and gestational hypertension as considerable risk factors for persistent postpartum hypertension. The early identification of at-risk individuals and tailored interventions are essential for mitigating long-term cardiovascular risks.
