Abstrakt: A new report published by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine explores the prevalence of gestational diabetes (GDM) among underweight and normal weight women worldwide. The study found that GDM affects not only overweight and obese women but also those who are underweight or have a normal body mass index (BMI). The average global prevalence of GDM among non-overweight women was 7.3%, with the highest rates in Asia and the lowest in Africa. The study challenges current guidelines that recommend weight gain restriction for GDM management and calls for further research on the topic to inform appropriate management guidelines and support optimal pregnancy outcomes.
