Body composition as a complementary tool for detection of metabolic syndrome 6 years postpartum: a St. Carlos Cohort follow-up
GDM is a significant predictor of MetS. However, body composition, especially increased adiposity and reduced relative muscle mass, provides valuable clinical insights beyond traditional anthropometric measures in postpartum women. The proposed cut-off values for body composition parameters may serve as effective, non-invasive tools for early MetS detection in postpartum care.
