Gestational diabetes & diabetes in pregnancy
Insulinemic and Inflammatory Dietary Patterns Show Enhanced Predictive Potential for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Risk
Authors' conclusion
Utilizing both empirical dietary indexes, EDIP and EDIH, might offer a potentially more effective approach in preventing GDM when compared to solely focusing on adherence to the MD pattern.
Study context
- Population
- Pregnant women, Maternal and Infant Health cohort, Hefei, China (2015–2021); diet by food frequency questionnaire
- Participants
- 8,495 women
- Exposure
- Highest vs lowest quartiles of empirical dietary index for hyperinsulinemia (EDIH), empirical dietary inflammatory pattern (EDIP) and MD score
- Outcome
- GDM by 2-hour 75-gram OGTT
- Follow-up
- 24 to 28 weeks of gestation
