Early pregnancy lipid concentrations and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus

The objective of this study was to determine if early pregnancy maternal plasma lipid concentrations are elevated in women who later developed gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) as compared with women who do not. Women, recruited prior to 16 weeks gestation, were followed until delivery. Maternal p...

Zusammenfassung:The objective of this study was to determine if early pregnancy maternal plasma lipid concentrations are elevated in women who later developed gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) as compared with women who do not. Women, recruited prior to 16 weeks gestation, were followed until delivery. Maternal plasma lipid concentrations were measured in samples collected at 13 weeks gestation on average. Generalized linear models were used to estimate relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). 5.5% of the cohort (47/851) developed GDM. Elevated triglyceride (TG) was positively associated with GDM risk ( p for trend
