“…Various other studies also support this positive correlation. 8,9 Menopause is an important predictor of metabolic syndrome. In present study it is found that postmenopausal women had significantly higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome in comparison to premenopausal women (68.8% vs 37.8%) and on statistical correlation it was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05).…”

“…15 However, two other studies showed no significant relationship between parity and the prevalence of MetS after additional adjustment for body mass index (BMI). 16,17 The objective of this study was to examine whether the number of births is associated with the prevalence of MetS in a population of Chinese women, controlling for demographic, lifestyle, and reproductive factors. We hypothesized that parity is independently associated with the risk of MetS in Chinese women.…”

“…Number of pregnancies has often been studied in relation to MetS. By assessing Iranian women, Mousavi et al [32] found that the number of pregnancies in women with MetS was significantly higher than in those without MetS (5.2 ± 3.1 vs. 3.5 ± 2.6, p < 0.001). The prevalence of MetS in nulliparous women, mothers with 1 -4 children and more than 4 children was 15.2%, 26.2% and 49.6%, respectively.…”

Background: This study aims to understand the relationship between menopausal status and the presence of Metabolic Syndrome in women from 40 to 65 years, as well as to describe the distribution of each component of Metabolic Syndrome according to sample characteristics. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 551 women treated at a clinic in southern Brazil. MetS and its components were defined according to NCEP-ATP III and menopausal status as pre, peri, and post-menopause. Prevalences of menopausal status and of MetS and its components were calculated. Estimates of prevalence ratios crude and adjusted with confidence intervals of 95% were calculated by Poisson Regression with robust variance. Demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and reproductive characteristics were considered as potential confounding factors in multivariable models based on a conceptual framework of MetS determination. Results: The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in the sample was 56.1% (CI 95% : 51.9 to 60.2), being more common among older women (56 to 65 years), with low education, menarche <11 years old, with three or more pregnancies and in the post-menopausal period. In multivariate analysis, there was an increase of prevalence ratios when comparing perimenopause and post-menopause with pre-menopause; however, the confidence intervals include the unit. Regarding the analysis of isolated components in the sample, the most prevalent altered components were: hypertension (84.8%; CI 95% : 81.7 to 87.8), waist circumference (66.4%; CI 95% : 62.5 to 70.4) and HDL cholesterol (51.7%; CI 95% : 47.5 to 55.9). There was a linear increase on mean blood glucose through menopausal status. Conclusions: Our study indicates variation on the distribution of MetS and each component according to menopausal status and other women characteristics. Future studies on MetS should also have foresight to use this type of approach to improve understanding and targeting of actions and programs focusing on women in this period of life.

Abstract: A combination of lifestyle risk factors and/or biological changes associated with childbearing may explain the positive association between parity and increased risk of metabolic syndrome.
