IJERPH, Vol. 14, Pages 1532: Prevalence and Determinants of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-Sectional Study in China

Conclusions: Women in the second pregnancy do not appear to predict an increased risk for developing GDM than women in the first pregnancy. High-risk groups of GDM included women in their late pregnancy, aged 36–45 years old, and with hypertension. The findings will contribute to an improved understanding of social and behavioral determinants of GDM in Chinese population and contribute to the development of health-prevention promotion interventions to address GDM.
