[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS EpR0xA8s. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We sought to determine whether the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among US women of childbearing age (18-44 years) has increased since 1988 and to estimate its current prevalence by race/ethnicity and risk that a maternal history of select metabolic syndrome characteristics imposes on offspring. Methods. We used survey-specific data analysis methods to examine data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys conducted from 1988 to 2004. Results. The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome phenotype and 2 of its clinical correlates significantly increased between 1988 and 2004 (increase for metabolic syndrome phenotype=7.6%, for obesity=13.3%, and for elevated C-reactive protein=10.6% ; P<. for all hispanic women were more likely than white to possess the phenotype who reported that their mothers had been diagnosed with diabetes those whose not so ratio="1.9" confidence interval="1.3,2.8)." conclusions. current trends of metabolic syndrome among childbearing age demonstrate need additional rigorous investigations regarding its long-term effects in these and offspring.>
