Research Reveals Link Between Microaggressions and Hypertension in Pregnant Women

A groundbreaking study has uncovered a disturbing connection between microaggressions, subtle forms of discrimination, and the development of high blood pressure in pregnant women. This condition, also known as hypertension, is a leading cause of maternal mortality in the US. The research suggests that women who experience microaggressions during pregnancy are at a higher risk of developing this life-threatening condition. With hypertension affecting millions of women worldwide, it's essential to address the impact of social determinants, such as discrimination and systemic racism, on maternal health outcomes. By understanding this link, healthcare providers can work towards creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for expectant mothers.
