Abstract
To evaluate the associations of different anthropometric measurements on earlier exam with subsequent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Aboriginal women. This is a nested case-control study. Anthropometric measurements were conducted at baseline from 1992 to 1995 in a remote Aboriginal community. All subsequent pregnancies among the original participants were identified through review of hospital records of 20 years. Thirty-two women developed GDM and 99 women were hospitalised for pregnancy-related conditions other than GDM. The association between body mass index (BMI), weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio and waist-to-height ratio with subsequent GDM was examined. Our results showed an increased risk of GDM with increase in one standard deviation of BMI (OR=2.0; 95% CI: 1.3, 3.1), weight (OR=1.7; 95% CI: 1.1, 2.7), waist circumference (OR=1.8; 95% CI: 1.1, 3.0) and waist-to-height ratio (OR=2.3; 95% CI: 1.4, 3.9). High BMI (BMI≥25kg/m(2)) was associated with subsequent GDM (OR=2.8; 95% CI: 1.0, 7.8). BMI and waist-to-height ratio are better predictors than other anthropometric indices of GDM in Aboriginal women. Given that these measures are associated with future GDM, interventions...Continue Reading
