Association of ideal cardiovascular health and history of gestational diabetes mellitus in NHANES 2007-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Population-based studies of ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are scarce.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 2007-2018 National Health Examination and Nutrition Survey women aged ≥ 20 years, who had data on Life's Simple 7 (LS7) metrics and self-reported GDM history. Each LS7 metric was assigned a score of 0 (non-ideal) and 1(ideal) and summed to obtain total ideal CVH scores (0-7). We used logistic regression models to assess associations between LS7 ideal CVH scores (0-7) and GDM history, accounting for socio-demographic factors.

Results

Among 9199 women (mean age: 46 years, 8 % with a GDM history), there was a progressive decrease in the odds of past GDM history across increasing ideal CVH scores. C
