Highlights the shared cardiovascular risk among spouses of women with a history of gestational diabetes, suggesting a need for couple-based preventive strategies.
Gupta et al. (2024) conducted a cross-sectional in Spouses of women with a history of gestational diabetes and diabetes in pregnancy (n=1,638). History of hyperglycemia in pregnancy (female partner) vs. Normoglycemia in pregnancy (female partner) was evaluated on Adverse (average/poor) cardiovascular health score in male partner (OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.003-2.29, p=0.048). Men whose partners had a history of hyperglycemia in pregnancy had significantly higher odds of having an adverse cardiovascular health score compared to those whose partners had normoglycemia (adjusted OR 1.52).
