Compared to matched controls, women after IUFD had a greater BMI (p = 0.002), were more often smokers (p<0.001), and suffered more frequently medical conditions, such as hypertension (p = 0.015), APS (p = 0.017), and diabetes (p<0.001), with a more frequent need for insulin (p = 0.006; Table 1). Here, INS is linked to hypertensive disorder.
