The association of maternal fat-soluble antioxidants in early pregnancy with gestational diabetes mellitus: a prospective cohort study

Y. Lyu, G. Wang, et al.

This groundbreaking study by Yanyu Lyu and colleagues reveals a significant connection between elevated maternal vitamin A levels in early pregnancy and an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). While vitamin E showed no notable impact, the potential of vitamin A as a predictive biomarker for GDM is a fascinating find that could change prenatal care strategies.

Abstract
This prospective cohort study investigated the association between maternal vitamins A and E levels in early pregnancy and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Higher vitamin A levels were significantly associated with increased GDM risk (OR, 1.46; 95% CI: 1.14–1.88; p = 0.0032), while vitamin E showed no significant association. Vitamin A demonstrated potential as a biomarker for GDM prediction.
