“…This study was a retrospective cohort study using data from a cross-sectional survey aimed to describe the levels and risk factors for postpartum abnormal glucose tolerance. 45 The inclusion criteria included women (1) diagnosed with GDM during the last pregnancy, (2) aged >18 years, (3) >6-week postpartum period, (4) available by telephone and (5) able to speak Chinese. The exclusion criteria included women who were (1) pregnant, (2) diagnosed with abnormal glucose tolerance (eg, impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes)…”

ObjectivesGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular events among mothers later in life. This risk has not been well recognised by healthcare professionals in rural China. Our objectives were to (1) describe the proportion of rural women with increased blood pressure and a history of GDM; and (2) explore the biological and sociocultural factors associated with increased blood pressure.DesignA retrospective cohort study using data from a cross-sectional survey.SettingData were collected in two county-level hospitals in the central south of China between November 2017 and June 2018.ParticipantsPostpartum women aged >18 years with a history of GDM (N=397).MethodsBiological and sociocultural variables were examined. We used bivariate analyses to examine the associations between time since delivery and 2-hour postload glucose, and logistic regression to determine the biological and sociocultural factors associated with increased postpartum blood pressure.ResultsApproximately 20% (n=78) of women had increased blood pressure, defined as a systolic blood pressure ≥130 mm Hg and/or a diastolic blood pressure ≥85 mm Hg. The biological factors of advanced age, family history of hypertension and abnormal 2-hour postload plasma glucose levels were positively associated with increased blood pressure (p<0.05). General self-efficacy was the only sociocultural factor negatively associated with increased blood pressure (p<0.05).ConclusionsOne in five rural Chinese postpartum women with a history of GDM were found to have increased blood pressure. Biological and sociocultural factors were associated with increased postpartum blood pressure; women with lower general self-efficacy were more likely to have increased blood pressure. Disseminating knowledge about the high risk of developing increased blood pressure among women with prior GDM in rural China is indicated. Diabetes prevention programmes could consider adding general self-efficacy promotion strategies in this population.
