A miscarriage is a devastating event both physically and emotionally for expectant mothers.

Experts are now warning of another frightening finding for women who are losing their baby in the womb.

A recent study reports that women who have had miscarriages are almost 20 percent more likely to die before their 70th birthday, especially from cardiovascular disease.



"Abortion" - the official term for abortion - is one of the most common adverse pregnancy outcomes, affecting about 12 to 24 percent of known pregnancies.

Significant evidence suggests that women with a history of miscarriage have a higher risk of developing high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. However, evidence relating to miscarriage and early death risk was rare and inconsistent.

The present study was also observational, so its results cannot determine a cause.

The findings, published by the British Medical Journal, show that the link between abortion and early death was particularly strong for mothers who had an abortion at a young age or women who suffered abortions.

This led researchers to suggest that abortion could be an "early marker of future health risk in women."



"Our results suggest that miscarriage may be an early marker of future health risks in women, including premature death. Further research is needed to determine how miscarriage is related to women's long-term health and the mechanisms underlying this relationship," the authors write.

To investigate this further, researchers have investigated the link between abortion and the risk of death from all causes, as well as the risk of premature death from specific causes.

Their findings are based on data from 101,681 nurses in the U.S. taking part in the nurses' second ongoing health study.



At the start of the study, participants were of childbearing age and their pregnancies and health were monitored over a 24-year period between 1993 and 2017. Women filled out questionnaires every two years. Regarding pregnancies and their outcomes as well as lifestyle and health-related conditions, the researchers found that at least a quarter of the participants had at least one pregnancy that ended in an abortion.

Mortality rates were higher for women who experienced three or more miscarriages, and for women who reported a first miscarriage before age 24. Overall, the study reports that miscarriages increase the risk of premature death by 19 percent compared with women who have not had an abortion.

Researchers say the risk was greater for women who suffered multiple miscarriages.
