Outdoor artificial light at night exposure and gestational diabetes mellitus: a case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aims to explore the association between outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN) exposure and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Methods

This study is a retrospective case-control study. According with quantiles, ALAN has been classified into three categories (Q1-Q3). GDM was diagnosed through oral glucose tolerance tests. Conditional logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between ALAN exposure and GDM risk. The odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to assess the association. Restricted cubic spline analysis (RCS) was utilized to investigate the no liner association between ALAN and GDM.

Results

A total of 5,720 participants were included, comprising 1,430 individuals with GDM and 4,290 matched cont
