Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of prepregnancy BMI and weight change from prepregnancy to postpartum on postpartum type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk among women with gestational diabetes (GDM). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study in 1,263 GDM women at 1-5 years after delivery was performed. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate the association of prepregnancy BMI and weight change with T2D and prediabetes risks. RESULTS: The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios based on different levels of prepregnancy BMI (<23, 23-24.9, 25-29.9, and ≥30 kg/m(2) ) were 1.00, 1.77, 2.35, and 6.54 (Ptrend < 0.001) for incident T2D, and 1.00, 1.46, 1.87, and 1.79 (Ptrend < 0.001) for incident prediabetes, respectively. Compared with women with stable weight (±3 kg), those with weight gain ≥7 kg had an 86% and a 32% increased risk of diabetes and prediabetes, and those with weight loss ≥3 kg had a 45% decreased risk of prediabetes. The positive associations of prepregnancy BMI with incident diabetes and prediabetes risk were persistent in women with different levels of weight change (<3 kg and ≥3 kg). CONCLUSION: Prepregnancy obesity and excessive weight gain from prepregnancy to postpartum increase postpartum diabetes and prediabetes risks among GDM women.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
