Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the connection between the age of menarche (first menstrual period) and the risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among pregnant women in Turkey.
- It found that women with menarche before age 12 have a 2.3 times higher risk of GDM, and those with a pre-pregnancy BMI over 25 kg/m² face about twice the risk.
- The findings suggest that age at menarche, cycle duration, and BMI are significant risk factors for GDM, highlighting the need for better evaluation of menstrual history by healthcare professionals to inform future pregnancy care.
