Neighbourhood Deprivation and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Arizona From the <scp>AzPEARS</scp> Study
We observed that neighbourhood deprivation was positively associated with a higher risk of GDM for each increase in quartile. These results suggest that NDI, a proxy for neighbourhood socioeconomic status, may contribute to GDM risk. Identifying high-risk neighbourhoods for place-based interventions targeting the most vulnerable birthing populations may be an effective strategy in the prevention of GDM.
