Table I.
Characteristics of pregnant women in the two groups
| Variables | GDM | NON GDM | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre pregnancy BMI (kg/m2) | 26.4±5 | 24.7±4.4 | 0.001 |
| AGE ( years) | 29.4±5.4 | 27.1±4.5 | 0.001 |
| Ferritin ( ng/ml ) | 41±35 MD=35(29) | 35.5±30.730.7(26.2) | 0.01 |
| Fe ( µg/dl ) | 111.5±58.3 | 98.6±41.7 | 0.16 |
| TIBC( ( µg/dl ) | 334±56 | 344±72.5 | 0.43 |
| Hb (g/dl) | 12.7±1.1 | 12.7±3.5 | 0.7 |
Data of continuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and because ferritin levels were not normally distributed, the results were showed as medians (interquartile range) χ2 test was used for categorical variables
