Circulating saturated fatty acids and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus: A cross-sectional study and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have analyzed the associations between the circulating saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but no consistent conclusions have been reached. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether plasma SFAs were in correlation with GDM risks in our in-house women cross-sectional study and to better define their associations on the clinical evidence available to date by a dose-response meta-analysis.

Methods

We carried out a cross-sectional study of 807 pregnant women in 2018-2019 (Shanghai, China). GDM was defined according to the criteria of the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG). Gas chromatography was used to determine the plasma fatty acids (FAs) in the 24-28 gestational weeks. Th
