The association between Lifelines Diet Score and GDM: a case-control study
Our findings indicate that greater adherence to the LLDS may be associated with reduced odds of GDM. Although the case-control design precludes causal inferences, these results highlight the potential significance of overall dietary quality in maternal metabolic health. Further prospective and intervention studies are warranted to validate these associations and elucidate the underlying mechanisms through which a high-quality diet may mitigate the odds of GDM.
