Future risk of metabolic syndrome in women with a previous LGA delivery stratified by gestational glucose tolerance: a prospective cohort study

Abstract: BackgroundWhether the delivery of a large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infant predicts future maternal metabolic syndrome (MetS) is not known. To this aim, we investigated the incidence of MetS and its components in women with or without a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with a view to the birth weight of the offspring.MethodsEight hundred seventy six women treated for their pregnancies in Kuopio University Hospital in 1989–2009 underwent a follow-up study (mean follow-up time 7.3 (SD 5.1) years), … Show more

“…GDM is linked to a two-fold risk of coronary artery calcification7 or future cardiovascular (CV) events8 independently of the development of diabetes 7 8. Earlier studies reported a 15%–20% increase in the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the early PP (6–8 weeks) and up to 40%–50% in the later years 9–15. The presence of MetS is associated with a 3–4 fold increased risk of CV disease and all-cause mortality 16.…”

“…The presence of Acanthosis Nigricans on the neck has been shown to be a reliable clinical indicator of insulin resistance (IR), an important component of MetS (11). In addition, in males there is a strong association between MetS and erectile dysfunction (12); and in females, between MetS and maternal body mass index (BMI) and fetal macrosomia (13). Lastly, other anthropometric measurements, such as the waist-to-height ratio, have been correlated with MetS (14).…”
