Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Gestational diabetes mellitus is gaining in importance as a predictor of future health risks for women and their offspring. In women, it is associated with increased long-term risks of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and increased cardiovascular disorders. For offspring of mothers with gestational diabetes risks of gestational diabetes include abnormal glucose tolerance, obesity and metabolic syndrome. This review presents the evidence for gestational diabetes as a predictor of long-term health risks for mothers and offspring. We highlight gestational diabetes as an opportune time to screen for and possibly intervene to prevent adverse health outcomes for both women and offspring. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
