Dietary Mapping of Macronutrient Consumption Before Pregnancy Related to Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication, and maternal diet before conception may be an important modifiable risk factor. This study aimed to investigate the association between maternal pre-pregnancy energy and macronutrient intake and the risk of GDM. Methods: Data from the BORN2020 cohort in Northern Greece were used. Women were recruited at their first trimester prenatal visit (11-13 weeks of gestation) and provided detailed dietary data via a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), reflecting intake in the six months prior to conception. Weighted Quantile Sum (WQS) regression models were applied to assess the joint effects of food-derived macronutrient mixtures on GDM risk. Analyses were adjusted for parity, mate
