Baseline characteristics of glucose-tolerant pregnant women (controls) and women with gestational diabetes (cases)
Parameters | Controls (n = 40) | Cases (n = 40) |
---|---|---|
Age, years | 30.8±4.1a | 32.6±4.13a |
Weight, kg | 61.4±8.0a | 88.5±11.64a |
Height, m | 1.6±0.04a | 1.6±0.06a |
BMI, m2/kg | 24.2±2.9a | 32.5±4.8b |
SBP, mm Hg | 103.5±11.8a | 116.5±8.7b |
DBP, mm Hg | 70.2±6.0a | 76.9±8.7a |
Values with the same superscript letter within the same column are not statistically different (p > 0.05) between the control and case groups, while values with different superscript letters are significantly different (p < 0.05). BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure.
