Late preterm (34-<37 weeks) women met Joint Statement MetS criteria (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.05-2.86), while early preterm (<34 weeks) women had 2-3 times higher risk of hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL but did not meet clinical MetS criteria. Medically indicated preterm births showed a stronger MetS association (OR 2.07, 95% CI 0.83-5.14) than spontaneous preterm births (OR 1.65, 95% CI 0.96-2.84).
