PZPing ZuJXJirong XuPWP. H. Wang

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the relationship between handgrip strength in the second trimester and the risk of gestational hyperglycemia.
  • Measured handgrip strength in pregnant individuals during the second trimester.
  • Assessed the incidence of gestational hyperglycemia and diabetes in the participants.
  • Analyzed data to determine the predictive value of handgrip strength for hyperglycemia.
  • Lower handgrip strength correlates with an increased risk of gestational hyperglycemia.
  • Handgrip strength serves as a promising screening tool to identify those at risk for gestational diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Lower second-trimester HGS independently predicts GDM risk and hyperglycemia, supporting its use as an inexpensive initial screening tool in primary care, particularly in resource-limited settings.
