Gestational Glucose Intolerance and Metabolic Syndrome
- 4. STUDY DESIGN Evaluate the relationship between gestational glucose intolerance and postpartum risk of metabolic syndrome
- 5. WHAT IS METABOLIC SYNDROME? A combination of medical disorders that increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
- 6. STUDY DEFINITION of METABOLIC SYNDROME: The clustering of several cardio-metabolic risk factors including obesity, hypertension and low HDL cholesterol).
- 9. FINDINGS: Even mild glucose intolerance during pregnancy is associated with an increased likelihood of the metabolic syndrome at 3 months postpartum.
- 10. FINDINGS The presence of cardiovascular risk factors postpartum indicates that these risk factors may be longstanding and contribute to the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease in this patient population
- 11. CONCLUSIONS Glucose tolerance screening in pregnancy may provide insight into a woman's postpartum cardiovascular risk-factor profile Glucose tolerance screening may identify subgroups of young women for whom cardiovascular risk-factor monitoring may be warranted.
