High Prevalence of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Beijing

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

One out of every five pregnant women in Beijing either had GDM or DIP and this constitutes a huge health burden for health services. Prepregnancy BMI and weight gain before 24th week are important modifiable risk factors for GDM. Ensuring birth weight above 3000 g may help reduce risk for future GDM among female offsprings.
