This work research is the longest known research of observing the body structure and metabolic changes in women during pregnancy and 20 years after it. Tasks of work – to assess the changes in the anthropometric and metabolic parameters in women within twenty years; to assess the relations of a long-term risk of metabolic syndrome with the body composition and metabolic changes in women had happened during their previous pregnancies. The research data show unfavourable long-term changes in the women’s body structure parameters (body mass and BMI increased, adipose tissue centralization was determined) and metabolic parameters (a proatherogenic dyslipidaemia, the glucose concentration increased and resistance of insulin increased). The work data show the first body markers were already detected during pregnancy for the women who had the metabolic syndrome at the end of the research. We found two anthropometric indicators which could help to prognosticate a long-time risk of the development of metabolic syndrome the relative change in the triceps skin fold and the ratio between the absolute growth in the passive body mass during pregnancy and the neonate’s birth mass. Besides, the research assessed the relation of the adipokines profile parameters with physiological and pathological conditions in women. |
