et al.

Abstract: AimsGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common pregnancy complications, and though it may be linked to childhood adversity, the effect of different types of adversity remains unclear. Childhood adversity is linked to a younger maternal age, which may hide the overall impact of adversity on GDM risk. We therefore aimed to explore the association between different types of childhood adversity and GDM while accounting for the potential impact of maternal age.MethodsWe used Danish nation‐wide re… Show more

This is not to state that trauma had no impact on the lives of participants.…”

“…Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a condition characterized by the onset of diabetes during pregnancy The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reports an annual increase in the global prevalence of GDM ( 1 ). GDM development may elevate the risk of metabolic diseases in both mothers and offspring ( 2 , 3 ). During GDM pregnancies, thickening of the basement membrane of trophoblast cells, increased release of inflammatory cytokines by placental macrophages, and edema of the interchorionic layer of the villi result in reduced placental perfusion ( 4 ).…”
