OBJECTIVES: To determine the frequency of risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to analyze the relationship and strength of association among these risk factors in the development of GDM.METHODS: This study was conducted in the Khyber Teaching Hospital, Health Care Center and Kalsoom Maternity Home Peshawar, Pakistan. The targeted population was the registered cases of pregnant women with GDM. Data was collected through properly designed questionnaire and antenatal cards of the GDM patients. RESULTS: Out of 100 patients with GDM 64% patients had age³30 years and 2 mean age was 31.25+5.25 years. BMI³25 kg/mwas observed in 64% patients & 2mean BMI was 25.98+2.67 kg/m. Seventy-three patients were multiparous and grand-multiparous, family history of diabetes mellitus (DM) was present in 71 patients while past history of GDM was present in 66% patients. Positive correlation was observed between advancing maternal age & GDM history 2(x=8.150, p=<0.05; Phi and Cramer's V test =0.626, p<0.001); advancing 2maternal age and parity (x=39.140; p=<0.001, Phi and Cramer's V test =0.285, p<0.05) in the development of GDM. Positive correlation was observed between 2BMI and parity (x=14.090, p=<0.05; Phi and Cramer's V test =0.375, p<0.05) 2as well as between parity and past GDM (x=38.302, p=<0.001; Phi and Cramer's V test=0.619, p<0.001) in the development of GDM. 2,CONCLUSION: Advanced maternal age (³30 years), multiparty, BMI³25 kg/mhistory of GDM in the previous pregnancies and family history of DM were found to be the strong predictors of GDM.
