GPT's summary
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects 3-5% of pregnancies. A study within the Nurses' Health Study II found that GDM risk increases with maternal age, family history of diabetes, and higher pre-pregnancy BMI. Women with a BMI of 25-29.9 kg/m² had a 2.13 times greater risk, and those with a BMI ≥30 kg/m² had a 2.90 times greater risk compared to women with a BMI <20 kg/m². Additional risks included weight gain, nonwhite ethnicity, and smoking before pregnancy, while vigorous pre-pregnancy exercise suggested a trend towards reduced risk
