Association of elevated mid‐pregnancy maternal plasma ferritin concentrations and triglyceride concentrations with the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus: A prospective cohort study
Abstract:ObjectiveFerritin levels are well known to be associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, the association of the combination of ferritin and triglyceride (TG) levels in early mid‐pregnancy with GDM has not been studied in depth. We investigated the independent and combined relationships of plasma ferritin and TG concentrations with the risk of GDM as well as the mediation effect of TG on ferritin.MethodsWe analysed 2071 pregnant women from the Tongji Maternal and Child Health Cohort who had t… Show more
