Description
Carolyn Robb and co-authors study severe illness around childbirth in older mothers in work from 2026. They ask how much metabolic syndrome adds to risk in women aged thirty-five and over.
Using a national hospital database with about three million births, they found severe illness in about two percent of older mothers. Rates were far higher in those with metabolic syndrome than in those without, and risk rose with age. After adjustment, the syndrome more than doubled the odds of severe illness. The study measures a heavy burden in this high-risk group.
