Percentage of women by subsequent gestational diabetes mellitus status groups among prepregnancy cardiometabolic risk factor groups, the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study, 1985–2006. Cardiometabolic risk factors include fasting glucose ≥100 mg/dL, fasting insulin >15 μU/mL, and/or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol <40 mg/dL. Cardiometabolic groupings are hierarchical. The category of fasting glucose ≥100 mg/dL includes women regardless of insulin or HDL-C. For all other risk factor groups, fasting glucose <100 mg/dL is combined with hyperinsulinemia (fasting insulin >15 μU/mL), with or without low HDL-C (defined as <40 mg/dL), or with low HDL-C alone. GDM, gestational diabetes mellitus; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
