Does gestational diabetes mellitus increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in young women?
Does gestational diabetes mellitus increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in young women?
Gestational diabetes mellitus is associated with a substantially increased risk of cardiovascular disease in young women, largely driven by the subsequent development of type 2 diabetes.
May inform CVD risk assessment in young women with GDM history; leaves open whether preventing subsequent diabetes modifies risk.
Young women with GDM had a substantially increased risk for CVD compared with women without GDM. Much of this increased risk was attributable to subsequent development of type 2 diabetes.
