- American-Africans (OR 1.27) & Hispanic (OR 1.21) patients had higher odds vs. White (p<0.0001)
- These comorbidities highlight key risk factors for T2DM progression.

- In a Danish cohort (n=38455; biomarker subcohort n≈2,056, age 30.4 y), 28 women (1.4%) developed CVD over median 11.9 y
- Third trimester hs cTnI & soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), maternal age, & HDPs independently predicted risk, a week 29 model (age+sFlt 1) improved discrimination vs. age alone (ΔAUC 0.16)
- Pregnancy biomarkers may be good sex specific predictors for long term CVD prevention.

- Excess burden was modest (<1 excess event/100 cases)
- Risk was higher in adults ≥60 yrs & during DENV serotype 3 transmission (memory loss OR 2.99, movement disorders OR 6.38)
