Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of developing a common pregnancy complication, pre-eclampsia (3% of pregnancies), and later cardiovascular disease. In the MSOP-PRE -project we will define metabolic syndrome of pregnancy (MSOP) and study its clinical and epidemiological aspects using information from the hospital records, lifestyle and dietary data, results from laboratory measurements, and genomic and proteomic data. Our aim is to develop a new prediction model for the MSOP and pre-eclampsia and compare the new model to the prediction models for pre-eclampsia. The new prediction model could help targeted prevention and follow-up during pregnancy. The model could also be used when developing targeted prevention of the cardiovascular disease in later life.
