Gestational Diabetes and Risk of Stroke Among US Black Women
In this large prospective study of Black women, a vulnerable population at high risk for stroke, a history of GDM increased stroke incidence by 41%. There was no elevated risk of stroke for Black women with a history of GDM and no progression to type 2 diabetes, while the stroke risk increased by 2.6-fold for Black women with GDM and progression to type 2 diabetes. Our results highlight the importance of consideration of history of GDM for stroke early prevention, especially Black women with progression to T2DM after GDM.
