Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: The prevalence of GDM is reported to vary widely from 3.8 to 21% in different parts of India depending on the geographical location. Objectives of this study was to find the relation of GDM with overweight and obesity. Material & Methods: A study on the prevalence and possible risk factors associated with gestational diabetes was undertaken on 100 mothers between the age group of 20 and 35 years; among pregnant women recruited from Gynecology and Obstrectics outpatient of S.M.S Medical College, Jaipur, Rajasthan from January 2016 to January 2017. In this study 100 women were divided in two groups, Group I (n=50) were control group (non gestational diabetic) and Group II (n=50) was study group (gestational diabetic). Results: In present study maximum subjects 35 (70%) seen in control group and 31 (62%) in study group in 25-32 years of age group. The maximum women (n=31) were normal weight (BMI=18.5-24.9 kg/m2) in control group and in study group 27 women were normal weight (BMI=18.5-24.9 kg/m2), followed by 18 women were over-weight (BMI=25-29.9 kg/m2). Body mass index ≥ 25 was significantly higher (p= 0.033*) in cases than controls (44% vs. 22%). Conclusion: Our study showed that overweight and obese women with more than 25 years of age were more prone to develop GDM. We recommend that health authorities strengthen maternal health programs by focusing on the prevention and control of modifiable risk factors during the pre-pregnancy period.
