The prevalence of both obesity and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is increasing worldwide. Overweight and obesity are abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. The presence of obesity has, in particular, a significant impact on both maternal and fetal complications associated with GDM. These complications can be addressed, at least in part, by good glycaemic control during pregnancy. The objective of the study is to classify GDM and non-GDM patients based on pre-pregnancy maternal Body Mass Index (BMI) and to assess and quantify the risk for GDM according to BMI.

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is usually diagnosed between 24th and 28th gestational week using the 75-g Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). It is controversial that if FPG ≥92 mg/dL before 24th gestational week should be intervened or not. The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of FPG to screen GDM before 24th gestational week in women with different pre-pregnancy Body Mass Index (BMI).Methods: This was a hospital based retrospective cohort study done at CHC Balipatna, Khurdha, Odisha. Women who had a singleton live birth between June 20, 2016 and June 30, 2019, resided in Balipatna block area and received prenatal care in the Community Health Centre, were included in this study. Pre-pregnancy BMI, FPG before the 24th gestational week, and one-step GDM screening with 75 g-OGTT at the 24th to 28th gestational weeks were extracted from medical records and analyzed. The pregnant women were classified into four groups based on pre-pregnancy BMI: Group A (underweight), Group B (normal), Group C (overweight) and Group D (obesity). Statistical analysis using independent sample t-test, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Pearson Chi-square test was done.Results: The prevalence of GDM was 20.0% (68/341) in the study population. FPG decreased gradually as the gestational age increased in all pre-pregnancy BMI groups until the 19th gestational week. The incidence of GDM in women with FPG ≥92 mg/dL in the 19th to 24th gestational weeks and pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity was significantly higher than that in women with FPG ≥92 mg/dL and pre-pregnancy BMI <24.0 kg/m2.Conclusions: FPG decreased gradually as the gestational age increased in all pre-pregnancy BMI groups until the 19th gestational week. Pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity was associated with an increased FPG value before the 24th gestational week. FPG ≥92 mg/dL between 19 and 24 gestational weeks should be treated as GDM in women with pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity.

Abstract Background: The prevalence of maternal overweight and obesity has been increasing. This research explored the association between maternal body mass index and ethnicity in relation to the adverse outcomes of large for gestational age and gestational diabetes mellitus. Method: A retrospective cohort study was undertaken with 27 814 Australian women of various ethnicities, who gave birth to a singleton infant between 2008 and 2017. Variables were examined using logistic regression. Results: A significantly higher proportion of large for gestational age infants were born to overweight and obese women compared to those who were classified as underweight and healthy weight. Asian-born women with a body mass index of ≥ 40kg/m2 had an adjusted odds ratio of 9.926 (3.859 - 25.535) for birthing a large for gestational age infant whereas Australian-born women had an adjusted odds ratio of 2.661 (2.256 - 3.139) for the same outcome. Women born in Australia were at high risk of birthing a large for gestational age infant in the presence of insulin controlled gestational diabetes mellitus, but this risk was not significant for those with the diet-controlled type. Asian-born women did not present an elevated risk of birthing a large for gestational infant, in either the diet controlled, or insulin controlled gestational diabetes mellitus groups. Conclusion: Large for gestational age and gestational diabetes mellitus are adverse pregnancy outcomes that can lead to significant maternal and neonatal morbidity. Women who are overweight or obese, and considering a pregnancy, are encouraged to seek culturally appropriate nutrition and weight management advice during the periconception period.

Abstract Background The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus in Australia has been rising in line with the increased incidence of maternal overweight and obesity. Women with gestational diabetes mellitus, high body mass index or both are at an elevated risk of birthing a large for gestational age infant. The aim was to explore the relationship between country of birth, maternal body mass index with large for gestational age, and gestational diabetes mellitus. In addition to provide additional information for clinicians when making a risk assessment for large for gestational age babies. Method A retrospective cohort study of 27,814 women residing in Australia but born in other countries, who gave birth to a singleton infant between 2008 and 2017 was undertaken. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between the aforementioned variables. Results A significantly higher proportion of large for gestational age infants was born to overweight and obese women compared to those who were classified as underweight and healthy weight. Asian-born women residing in Australia, with a body mass index of ≥40 kg/m2, had an adjusted odds ratio of 9.926 (3.859–25.535) for birthing a large for gestational age infant. Conversely, Australian-born women with a body mass index of ≥40 kg/m2 had an adjusted odds ratio of 2.661 (2.256–3.139) for the same outcome. Women born in Australia were at high risk of birthing a large for gestational age infant in the presence of insulin-requiring gestational diabetes mellitus, but this risk was not significant for those with the diet-controlled type. Asian-born women did not present an elevated risk of birthing a large for gestational age infant, in either the diet controlled, or insulin requiring gestational diabetes mellitus groups. Conclusions Women who are overweight or obese, and considering a pregnancy, are encouraged to seek culturally appropriate nutrition and weight management advice during the periconception period to reduce their risk of adverse outcomes.

Introduction/Objective. Not only do pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity increase the risk of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes but they also lead to the development of gestational diabetes mellitus. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity in the Republic of Srpska and to investigate its association with hyperglycemia and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus. Methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out during the period from February to October 2012 among 555 pregnant women in gestational period from 24 to 28 weeks. The criterion for exclusion from the sample was previously diagnosed type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Results. Before pregnancy, 20.39% of participants had increased body mass index, while 4.04 % [95% confidence interval (CI); 2.62?6.13] were obese. Gestational diabetes mellitus was diagnosed in 10.91% (95% CI, 8.44?13.98) of them. The increase in body mass index by 1 increased the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus by 1.09 times [odds ratio (OR) = 1.09; 95% CI; 1.02?1.16]. Pregnant women who were overweight had a 4.88 times greater risk (OR = 4.88; 95% CI, 1.23?29.41) of developing gestational diabetes. Conclusion. Every fifth pregnant woman in this study was overweight or obese before pregnancy. The increase in body mass index by 1 increased the risk of gestational diabetes by 1.09 times (OR = 1.09; 95% CI; 1.02?1.16). Counselling is necessary for overweight and obese women planning pregnancy.

Iadpsg Criteria

Objective: Using the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria to diagnose gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), the association between GDM and offspring body mass index (BMI) gains in early childhood in China remains unclear. We aimed to assess the association between GDM diagnosed by the IADPSG criteria and BMI gain and the risk for overweight/obesity in offspring from 1 to 4 years. Methods: This prospective cohort study was based on the healthcare records data from the Medical Birth Registry in Xiamen, China. We included 10,412 mother-child pairs tested for GDM using IADPSG criteria. Results: A total of 1,786 (17.2%) offspring were exposed to GDM. The offspring exposed to GDM had higher mean BMI Z-score (difference, 0.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.02 to 0.12) and risk for overweight/obesity (odds ratio [OR], 1.22; 95% CI, 1.06 to 1.40) compared to those unexposed to GDM from 1 to 4 years of age. However, after adjustment for maternal pre-pregnancy BMI (Model 2), these associations attenuated towards the null (difference in BMI Z-score, 0.02; 95% CI, −0.03 to 0.07; OR for overweight/obesity, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.95 to 1.25). Conclusion: The associations between GDM diagnosed using IADPSG criteria and BMI Z-score and the risk for overweight/obesity in offspring at the age of 1 to 4 years were largely explained by maternal pre-pregnancy BMI. Reducing the prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity in China should focus on maternal weight status before pregnancy, in addition to glycemia during pregnancy.
