Adopting and adhering to a low-risk, healthy lifestyle before pregnancy is associated with a low risk of gestational diabetes and could be an effective way to prevent the complication, according to a new study in the BMJ.
Using data from the Nurses’ Health Study II, researchers from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and Harvard conducted a prospective cohort study of 20,136 singleton live births to 14,437 women who had no chronic disease. Self-reported incident gestational diabetes was diagnosed by a physician and validated using medical records from a previous study. Information regarding smoking status and weight was obtained twice a year. Food intake and physical activity were assessed via self-reports on Nurses’ Health Study II questionnaires.
