Preterm delivery linked to greater risk of cardiovascular disease later in life

(Brigham and Women's Hospital) Investigators found women who have delivered prematurely before 37 weeks have a 40 percent increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease when compared to women who delivered their babies after 37 weeks. Women who delivered earlier, before 32 weeks, had double the risk of CVD.
