Introduction Current approaches to diagnosing and managing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) do not account for the diverse cardiometabolic (CM) profiles of pregnant women. The triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL) ratio is recognized as a useful marker of CM risk, but its significance during pregnancy remains unclear. Objective The objective of this study is to evaluate whether the TG/HDL ratio is associated with distinct CM profiles and the timing of GDM diagnosis.

- The study investigated how clinical and biochemical factors in women with gestational diabetes (GDM) are linked to having large for gestational age (LGA) babies, examining data from January 2008 to August 2022.
- Among the 659 women analyzed, significant differences in demographics and health indicators like age, BMI, and HDL-C levels were found based on whether their babies were LGA, AGA, or SGA.
- The results indicated that lower HDL-cholesterol levels and pregestational obesity are strong predictors for the likelihood of having LGA babies among women with GDM.
