Levels of select vitamins and minerals in pregnancy may be linked to lower midlife BP risk.

Women with higher levels of essential minerals circulating in their blood during pregnancy had a lower risk of developing high blood pressure in middle age.

Manganese , selenium, magnesium and copper are among the essential metals important for a healthy body because their anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory properties may help protect against cardiovascular disease.

The analysis included 493 women enrolled in Project Viva , a prospective study examining the effects of environmental and lifestyle factors during pregnancy on the short and long-term health of women and their children.

The study's limitations include that it was an observational study, meaning other confounding factors that were not measured may have affected the results.
