AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the relationship between ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among women using data from a national health survey conducted between 2007 and 2018.
- Researchers measured ideal CVH using Life's Simple 7 metrics, scoring women's health from 0 (non-ideal) to 7 (ideal), and found that higher CVH scores were linked to significantly lower odds of a GDM history.
- The findings highlight that women with better cardiovascular health are less likely to have a history of GDM, emphasizing the need to improve cardiometabolic health in women at risk.
Article Abstract
Background: Population-based studies of ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are scarce.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 2007-2018 National Health Examination and Nutrition Survey women aged ≥ 20 years, who had data on Life's Simple 7 (LS7) metrics and self-reported GDM history. Each LS7 metric was assigned a score of 0 (non-ideal) and 1(ideal) and summed to obtain total ideal CVH scores (0-7). We used logistic regression models to assess associations between LS7 ideal CVH scores (0-7) and GDM history, accounting for socio-demographic factors.
Results: Among 9199 women (mean age: 46 years, 8 % with a GDM history), there was a progressive decrease in the odds of past GDM history across increasing ideal CVH scores. Compared to females with 0-1 ideal CVH scores, females with ideal CVH scores of 3, 4 and 5-7 had an associated 39 % lower [odds ratio: 0.61 (95 % CI: 0.41-0.90)], 50 % lower [0.50 (0.33-0.76)] and 66 % lower [0.34 (0.20-0.56)] odds of past GDM history, respectively. There were notable racial/ethnic and citizenship/nativity differences in these associations.
Conclusions: 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.

Background: Maternal obstetric characteristics have a key role in determining the occurrence of pregnancy-related disorders and subsequent neonatal outcomes. We aimed to investigate the mediating impact of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) on the relationship between maternal advanced age, previous caesarean section, and the risk of either large for gestational age (LGA) or small for gestational age (SGA) infants.
Methods: We used data from a prospective multicentre cohort study conducted through China's National Maternal Near-miss Surveillance System from January 2012 to December 2021.

Introduction: Evidence suggests that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with subsequent cardiovascular disease; however, it is unclear what impact changes in screening and diagnostic criteria have had on the association of GDM with long-term outcomes such as cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between GDM and subsequent cardiovascular disease during a period of rising gestational diabetes diagnosis in England. Specifically, associations were compared before and after 2008, when national guidelines supporting risk factor-based screening were introduced.

Background: The increasing rate of cesarean delivery (CD) is a significant concern in many societies worldwide. Vaginal delivery (VD) is preferred over CD for subsequent pregnancies after successful VD, for women with no specific obstetrical indications, primarily because of concerns about potential complications arising from the surgical procedure. However, the factors that influence the decision of requesting a CD have not yet been thoroughly investigated.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a major global health concern, affecting maternal and child health. Although genetic predispositions and individual medical histories are well-recognized risk factors, emerging research suggests a significant impact of external factors like neighborhood socioeconomic characteristics. This study systematically reviews and meta-analyzes the association between neighborhood deprivation and GDM incidence.
