Key Points Question Is preeclampsia associated with later-life stroke among women after accounting for time-varying covariates? Findings In this cohort study of 1435 women with and without a history of preeclampsia who participated in the Framingham Heart Study, after adjustment for age and time-varying vascular risk factors, women with a history of preeclampsia had a more than 3-fold higher risk of experiencing a stroke in later life compared with women who did not have a history of preeclampsia. Meaning The findings suggest that preeclampsia may be an independent risk factor for later-life stroke among women after controlling for vascular risk factors across the life course.
