Abstract
The authors aim to investigate the GDM and the dose–response association of BMI with it in pregnant women in Kermanshah, Iran. During the 2015–2016 year, the 1010 pregnant women were studied. The restricted cubic spline method was used to evaluate the relationship between BMI and GDM. The risk of GDM was 10.1%. The incidence rate ratio for GDM indicates a non-significant protective effect and, then a significant risk for GDM occurrence along with BMI. BMI can be used as a predictive factor. A healthy diet and recommended levels of physical activity are suggested to prevent overweight and obesity and subsequent GDM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
