  1. Odds ratio (OR) and its’ 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were computed by univariate logistic regression between MetS as dependent and breast feeding duration as continues predictor variables. The frequency of MetS in women with 1–2 years breast-feeding was lower than others. Also The odds of MetS increased 1.103 times with each breast-feeding years
