The objective of the study was to report the socio demographic risk factors of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
This study was conducted in the Institute of Chemical Sciences, University of Peshawar. In this study 103 GDM and 97 healthy pregnant women (HPW) were registered in Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH), Peshawar, Pakistan. Women with gestational diabetes were diagnosed with 75mg Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Data was collected through questionnaire which had information about sociodemographic risk factors.
Maternal age, BMI and parity of GDM were significantly higher at P<0.05 as compared to HPW. Previous history of gestational diabetes and family history of diabetes of GDM women were also significantly higher at P<0.001 as compared the control group. Socioecnomic status, education level and occupations of GDM and HPW were not significantly different.
Maternal age, BMI, parity, previous history of gestational diabetes and family history of diabetes are the high risk factors of GDM. Socioecnomic status does not affect the prevalence of GDM.
本研究旨在报告妊娠糖尿病（GDM）的社会人口学风险因素。
本研究在白沙瓦大学化学科学研究所进行。在这项研究中，在巴基斯坦白沙瓦的开伯尔教学医院登记了 103 名 GDM 和 97 名健康孕妇（HPW）。患有妊娠糖尿病的妇女通过 75mg 口服葡萄糖耐量试验（OGTT）进行诊断。通过问卷调查收集数据，问卷中包含有关社会人口学风险因素的信息。
与 HPW 相比，GDM 的产妇年龄、BMI 和产次显著更高，P<0.05。GDM 妇女的既往妊娠糖尿病史和糖尿病家族史也显著更高，P<0.001。GDM 和 HPW 的社会经济地位、教育水平和职业没有显著差异。
产妇年龄、BMI、产次、既往妊娠糖尿病史和糖尿病家族史是 GDM 的高风险因素。社会经济地位并不影响 GDM 的患病率。
