Gestational diabetes & diabetes in pregnancy
Association of ideal cardiovascular health and history of gestational diabetes mellitus in NHANES 2007–2018
Authors' conclusion
Women with higher ideal CVH scores had lower odds of GDM history. Our findings underscore the importance of optimizing cardiometabolic health among women with GDM history.
Study context
- Population
- Women aged ≥ 20 years in NHANES 2007–2018 with LS7 data and self-reported gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) history; mean age 46 years, 8 % with GDM history
- Participants
- 9,199 women
- Exposure
- Ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) scores of 3, 4 and 5-7 vs 0-1
- Outcome
- Self-reported history of GDM (odds), by LS7 ideal CVH score (0-7), adjusted for socio-demographic factors
