A recent study found hypertension was prevalent in approximately 40% of type 2 diabetic pregnant women but only 10% of the non diabetic controls. Those with an increased body mass index were found to have chronic and gestational hypertension, but not pre-eclampsia. Thus, hypertensive diseases did not affect the pregnancy outcome of women in this study.
However, another study recently reported very obese women aged 20-54 have an elevated endometrial cancer risk, which appears heightened by early menopause.
