Association between dietary inflammatory potential and risk of developing gestational diabetes: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Limited and inconsistent data are available regarding the relationship between the dietary inflammatory potential (DIP) and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Objective

The present prospective study aimed to evaluate the association between DIP score during the first trimester of pregnancy and risk of developing GDM among Iranian women.

Methods

In this prospective cohort study, 812 pregnant women aged 20-40 years, who were in their first trimester, were recruited and followed up until week 24-28 of gestation. Dietary intakes of study subjects were examined using an interviewer-administered validated 117-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). DIP score was calculated from 29 available food parameters based on earlier literature.
