The presence of multiple components of the MS cluster (glucose >4.9 mmol/L [OR: 2.66; 95% CI: 1.47–4.81], TG>3.24 mmol/L [OR: 1.60; 95% CI: 1.04, 2.48], HDL <1.24 mmol/L [OR: 2.42; 95% CI: 1.53–3.84], BMI>31 kg/m2 [OR: 2.18; 95% CI: 1.14–4.14]) and being primigravidae [OR: 1.71; 95% CI: 1.07–2.73] remained as factors associated with the development of PE after adjusting for familial history of cardiovascular diseases in first degree; familial history of PE or eclampsia, vitamin supplementation during pregnancy, condom use, leukocyte count, CRP and home related-stress.
