| Abstract: | Introduction: The basic causes of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are vital as they are effective for the diagnosis and prevention of this condition. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for GDM and the possible etiological parameters. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was conducted with 100 women with GDM and 100 healthy pregnant women at – Himagiri Medical Center in association with tertiary hospital – KIMS Hospital and – Pronto Diagnostics in Hyderabad. GDM was acknowledged by impaired oral glucose tolerance test based on the Carpenter and Coustan criteria. Healthy women were randomly selected from the medical center and were matched to gestational age of 24 to 28 weeks at Diagnostic center. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis via the SPSS software. Results: After adjusting variables, multivariate analysis identified 4 significant risk factors of GDM, including pre-pregnancy low physical activity (odds ratio [OR] = 2.85, 95% confidence interval [CI]= 0.97-8.34), advanced maternal age (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.13-1.35), body mass index ⩾ 30 kg/m2 (OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.02-1.20), and family history of diabetes mellitus (OR = 5.62, 95% CI = 2.26-13.96). Conclusion: We observed significant associations between low pre-pregnancy physical activity and obesity with GDM risk. Thus, the finding of this study can help devise strategies for the prevention of GDM. |
