  1. Odds ratio (OR) and its’ 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were computed by univariate logistic regression between MetS as dependent and pregnancy count as continues predictor variables. The frequency of MetS in women with 2 pregnancy was lower than others. Also The odds of MetS increased 1.215 times with each pregnancy
