The association of dietary glycaemic index and glycaemic load with gestational weight gain and newborn birth weight.

In conclusion, in a cohort of pregnant women considered usual risk for obstetric complications, maternal dietary GI was negatively associated with weekly GWG in the second and third gestational trimesters. No association was observed between GL and GWG, and neither GI nor GL was associated with birth weight z-score. PMID: 31865921 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
