Elevated blood pressure in young adulthood is an early risk marker for cardiovascular disease. Despite a strong biologic rationale, little research has evaluated whether incremental increases in preconception blood pressure have early consequences for reproductive health. We evaluated preconception blood pressure and fecundability, pregnancy loss and live birth in the Effects of Aspirin on Gestational and Reproduction trial (2007–2011), a randomized clinical trial of aspirin and reproductive outcomes among 1228 women attempting pregnancy with a history of pregnancy loss. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured during preconception in the first observed menstrual cycle and in early pregnancy, and used to derive mean arterial pressure. Fecundability was assessed as number of menstrual cycles until pregnancy, determined through human chorionic gonadotropin testing. Pregnancy loss included both human chorionic gonadotropin-detected and clinical losses. Analyses adjusted for treatment assignment, age, body mass index, race, marital status, smoking, parity and time since last loss. Mean preconception systolic and diastolic blood pressure were 111.6 (SD 12.1) and 72.5 (SD 9.4) mmHg. Risk of pregnancy loss increased 18% per 10 mmHg increase in diastolic blood pressure (95% CI 1.03, 1.36) and 17% per 10 mmHg increase in mean arterial pressure (95% CI 1.02, 1.35) in adjusted analyses. Findings were similar for early pregnancy blood pressure. Preconception blood pressure was not related to fecundability or live birth in adjusted analyses. Findings suggest preconception blood pressure among healthy women is associated with pregnancy loss, and lifestyle interventions targeting blood pressure among young women may favorably impact reproductive health.
