Abstract
Background:
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has become a public health problem in China.
Objective:
To examine the association of dietary protein intake before and during pregnancy with the risk of GDM.
Design:
Dietary intake before pregnancy and during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy was assessed using food frequency questionnaires in a prospective cohort of pregnant women. To screen GDM, participants underwent an OGTT test during 24–28 weeks of gestation. Cox proportional hazards were used to estimate RRs and 95% CIs for the associations between tertiles of dietary protein and the source of protein intake in different time windows with GDM status.
Results:
Higher intake of total protein [RR (95% CI): 1.92 (1.10–3.14),
p
for trend = 0.04] or animal protein [1.67 (1.19–2.93),
p
for trend = 0.03] in mid-pregnancy was associated with higher risk of GDM. Vegetable protein intake before or during pregnancy was not related to GDM risk (
p
for trend > 0.05). Moreover, in the mid-pregnancy, participants with higher meat consumption or dairy consumption had a higher risk of GDM.
Conclusion:
Our study indicated that higher dietary intakes of total protein and animal protein in mid-pregnancy were associated with an increased risk of GDM among pregnant Chinese women.
