This study compared the cardiovascular risk profile of 168 white women with a history of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and 168 controls matched for age and year of index delivery. Calculation of unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios showed a 3- to 5-fold increase in prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in women with a history of PIH in their first pregnancy.
