A prospective study of early pregnancy metal concentrations and gestational diabetes mellitus based on a birth cohort in Northwest China
Higher Cu concentration during early pregnancy may increase the risk of GDM in mothers. Increased Ca concentration may reduce the risk of GDM and lower the concentration of FPG below the turning point. Our findings could provide an early marker for potentially modifiable risk factors associated with maternal glucose dysregulation during pregnancy.
