Stressful life events, hypertensive disorders, and high blood sugar during pregnancy

Abstract: The objective of this study was to examine the association of life events stressors with risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) by using the multilevel sample from the 2007 Los Angeles Mommy and Baby (LAMB) survey. Four multilevel logistic regression models were applied while accounting for the multilevel design of the LAMB study. The following demographic variables were used as covariates: maternal age, race/ethnicity, maternal educational attainment, househo… Show more

“…If this is indeed the case, we may expect women with GDM to report a higher number of stressful events. It remains, however, inconclusive whether the observed link between stressful life events and GDM is due to a mechanism whereby repeated episodes of acute or chronic physiological responses to stress induce a chronic inflammatory process that increases the risk of GDM [27] .…”

This stress is further increased if combined with socioeconomic disadvantage during pregnancy ( Chen et al, 2020 ). Two recent publications have identified conflicting outcomes.…”

“…Lockdowns in this period could have affected gestational diabetes rates by impacting diets and exercise habits of women [7][8][9], as well as increasing stress levels and mental health problems [1,4,26]. Previous studies have shown that women have a higher risk of gestational diabetes following natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes [25,27]. In China, pregnant women who spent the most time in lockdown had the highest risk of gestational diabetes [25].…”
