Association between dietary folate intake and gestational diabetes mellitus: evidence from baseline data of a Chinese maternal and infant cohort
In Conclusion, insufficient dietary folate intake in Chinese pregnant women during the second and third trimesters is rather concerning. It points out an urge for improving the dietary folate intake among pregnant women during this period. It also suggests a potential association between balanced vitamin B<sub>12</sub> and folate intake and a lower likelihood of GDM.
