Association between protein intake and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of cohort studies

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common condition in pregnancy, the prevalence of which has increased. Identifying modifiable risk factors for GDM, such as dietary factors, could prevent or delay the onset of the condition. Our goal was to perform a comprehensive meta-analysis of cohort studies, to summarize the current evidence on the relationship between total, animal, and plant protein intake during pregnancy, as well as pre-pregnancy protein intake, and the risk of GDM.
