Background: The metabolic syndrome affects more and more global people. Although it shows increasing\nprevalence in general population, the syndrome affects more women than men, what\nmakes its risk of being developed during pregnancy period. Also, possible perinatal adverse effects\nare always lurking. Objective: the objective was demonstrated what�s new in literature on\nmetabolic syndrome and pregnancy. Methods: A literature review was performed to extract the\narticles published on metabolic syndrome and pregnancy, its prevalence, obstetrical complications\nand its perinatal adverse effects. This review was conducted by online researching in\nPubMed, Lilacs, Medline, Embase, Scopus, Medscape, Libertas Academica and CINAHL database,\nScience database and also by researches in books. 27 selected articles on metabolic syndrome after\nthis research were all published between 1988 and 2015. Results: Among those 27 articles and\ntwo books studied, SM rate in obstetric population ranged from 3% to 42% depending on the previously\nmanifested components of the syndrome, age and region. Women with previously manifested\ncomponents showed more adverse perinatal effects. Conclusion: Women with pregesta-tional DM or SM and SM develop more during pregnancy, obstetric complications and adverse perinatal\noutcomes.
