Summary: This study found an association between vitamin E (VE) levels and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women. Low first-trimester VE levels and subsequent decrease in VE during pregnancy were related to increased risk of GDM. These findings suggest the importance of consuming VE-rich foods and appropriate VE supplementation to prevent GDM in pregnant women with low baseline VE levels.

Summary: In a large observational study, it was found that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with an increased risk of heart failure (HF), even after adjusting for relevant cardiometabolic risk factors. Additionally, GDM was also found to increase the odds of peripartum cardiomyopathy.

Summary: This study identified CNVRs and SNPs associated with GDM in Chinese women through genome-wide association study and case-cohort study. Nineteen candidate genes related to lipase, oxidoreductase, and beta-cell proliferation were mapped. These genes are involved in the biological mechanisms of lipolysis, redox reaction, and proliferation of islet beta-cells.

Summary: This nationwide study suggests that railway noise, but not road traffic noise, might be associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Women exposed to both high road traffic and railway noise at the least exposed facade during the first trimester showed indications of higher odds of GDM.

Summary: Emerging evidence suggests that residential green spaces are beneficial for human health. However, the association between green space and GDM has been inconsistent and the potential interaction with air pollution is unclear. This study aims to evaluate this relationship and explore potential mediation effects. The results showed that increased green space was associated with a decreased risk of GDM, particularly in the second trimester. PM2.5 and O3 were found to partially mediate the association between green space and GDM.

Summary: There is an increasing trend in the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Taiwan, which has been linked to various adverse maternal outcomes. However, the effects of GDM on mid-term surrogate risk factors for these diseases are limited and nationwide cohort studies data are scarce.

Summary: The study found that higher concentrations of manganese and zinc, but lower concentrations of lead, calcium, and magnesium before 24 weeks of gestation were associated with increased risk of GDM and higher fasting plasma glucose levels among pregnant women. Monitoring metal concentrations within a certain range may help in early prediction of pregnancy glucose abnormalities.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between thyroid function and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). High TSH might be associated with an increased risk of GDM, and subclinical hypothyroidism was found to be related to the occurrence of GDM. Free thyroxine or thyroid peroxidase antibody, however, did not show any association with GDM.

Summary: The timing of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) diagnosis and gestational weight gains (GWG) during pregnancy are associated with the growth trajectory of children from perinatal to early childhood. GDM diagnosed before 26 weeks increases the risk of fetal overgrowth and higher birth weight, as well as higher BMI peak within 48 months. Maternal early GDM diagnosis and excessive gestational weight gains have additive impacts on offspring overgrowth, with higher levels of hsCRP observed in the early EGWG group.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study investigated the association between air pollutant exposure and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women. The study found that different trimester exposures to various air pollutants were either positively or negatively associated with GDM. The correlation between air pollutants and GDM was not consistent across all trimesters, possibly due to interactions with other factors during pregnancy.

Summary: This study examines the impact of a preconception pro-inflammatory diet on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and finds that higher maternal BMI increases the risk of GDM, while the effect of a preconception pro-inflammatory diet on the occurrence of GDM depends on pre-pregnancy BMI.

Summary: This binational cohort study investigated the association between intrauterine growth restriction, represented by birth weight for gestational age (GA), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in early adulthood. The study included over 3 million births from Sweden and Denmark. The results showed that individuals born severely small for GA or preterm had an increased risk of CVD. However, the association was attenuated when comparing individuals born SGA with their AGA siblings.

Summary: The study suggests that maternal glucose level may affect the association between prenatal PFAS exposure and birth weight. The negative correlation between PFAS concentration and birth weight z-score is more pronounced in the high glucose group, and the correlation becomes stronger as the glucose level increases. These findings indicate that high glucose levels may increase the risk of reduced birth weight related to PFAS exposure, and provide intervention strategies for pregnant women with high PFAS exposure.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the impact of maternal hypertensive disorders (HDP) on the development of diabetes in offspring from childhood to early adulthood. Using Danish national health registers, 2,448,753 individuals born in Denmark from 1978 to 2018 were included. The results showed that offspring of mothers with HDP had an increased risk of diabetes, suggesting that timely and effective prevention of HDP should be considered as a strategy for diabetes prevention and control in future generations.

The results showed that co-twins and first-degree relatives of ICP patients had a similar 5-fold and 2.5-fold increased risk of ICP, respectively. No increased risk was observed in second-degree and third-degree relatives. Further investigation is needed to understand the increased risk of ICP in nonbiological relatives.
