Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship of parity and other reproduction-associated factors with metabolic syndrome(MS) in middle-aged and elderly women in Nanchang community.Methods Female permanent residents over 40 years old were sampled for a routine examination and a questionnaire survey covering basic information,5 894 subjects were enrolled and identified as effective cases.MS was diagnosed according to the standard of China Diabetes Society in 2004.Factors including age,education,profession,marital status,parity,child-bearing history of macrosomia,breastfeeding,menarche age,and menopausal age were analyzed in order to find their relationship with MS.The univariate logistic analysis was followed by binary logistic regression analysis if P＜0.05,and OR value and confidence interval were calculated.Results Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that age,education,profession,parity,breastfeeding,and menopausal age were influencing factors of MS (all P ＜ 0.05).There was no correlation to marital status,miscarriage history,child-bearing history of macrosomia,menarche age with MS(all P＞0.05).Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of MS increased with age:OR =1.51 (95 ％ CI 0.98-2.32) during 50-59 years,OR =2.10 (95 ％ CI 1.34-3.30) during 60-69 years,and OR =2.63 (95 ％ CI 1.61-4.31) in cases aged over 70 years,as compared to the group aged 40-49 years.The risk in non-manual workers increased about 34 percent OR =1.33 (95 ％ CI 1.04-1.70),compared with manual workers.The risk of MS increased with parity,being OR =1.46 (95％ CI 1.14-1.88),OR =1.78 (95％ CI 1.30-2.43),and OR =1.84 (95％ CI 1.24-2.72),with 2,3,and 4 child-bearings respectively as compared to cases with only one childbearing.The risk of MS was reduced with advancing menopausal age being about 6 percent reduction with each increased year of menopausal age(OR =0.94,95％ CI 0.90-0.99).There was no difference between education,breastfeeding and MS(P＞005).Conclusion Multiple parity,earlier menopausal age,less manual work,and aging seem to be the risk factors of MS in women.
