Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS
The contraceptive use is 56% and prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is 30% in Iran. The aim of this study investigates relationship between oral contraceptive pills (OCP) use and MetS in women in the cohort population of Fasa city.
METHODS
In a cross-sectional study, 5489 women aged 35-70 years were studied for 5 years in the Sheshdeh area in 2016. MetS were calculated using adult treatment panel III (ATP III) and international diabetes federation (IDF) methods. The odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was reported. Linear regression was used to eliminate the confounding effect.
RESULTS
The OR of developing MetS in the OCP recipients was estimated as higher than the non-recipients. The OR of developing MetS using IDF criteria in OCP recipients was (OR = 0.896,95% CI:0.800-1.004). that increased to (OR = 1.230,95% CI:1.084-1.395) after adjusting for confounding variables. Also, the odds ratio using ATP (III) criteria was (OR = 0.900,95% CI:0.804-1.009). that increased to (OR = 1.245,95% CI:1.098-1.413) after adjusting for confounding variables. Also, the OR of developing MetS in OCP recipients decreased with increasing the number of MetS components from 1.199 to 0.812,95% CI:0.771-1.864,0.467-1.413, but after adjustment, increased from 1.151 to 1.747,95% CI:0.733-1.805,0.815-3.746.
CONCLUSION
The results of the present study showed that the OR of developing MetS in OCP recipients using both IDF and ATP (III) methods was higher after adjusting by confounder effects so it is recommended monitoring by physicians.
