  1. CVH cardiovascular health, IVF in vitro fertilization, GA gestational age, BP blood pressure, PA physical activity, BMI body mass index.
  2. The overall CVH score was used to categorize participants into three groups: high (80–100), moderate (50–79), and low (0–49).
  3. Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation for continuous variables and n (%) for categorical variables. For GA, data are presented as median and interquartile range.
