Associations between hysterectomy and metabolic syndrome: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Metabolic syndrome is linked to an increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. Notable associations exist between hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and metabolic syndrome. However, there is emerging evidence that even with ovarian conservation, hysterectomy may be independently associated with long-term cardiovascular disease risk.

Objective

To examine the associations between hysterectomy with ovarian preservation and metabolic syndrome risk in a multiethnic cohort.

Study design

We studied 3367 female participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis who had data on self-reported history of hysterectomy, oophorectomy, hystero-oophorectomy, and metabolic syndrome at baseline (2000-2002). We used adjuste
