    Air Pollution Exposure and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Risk: A Retrospective Case–Control Study with Multi-Pollutant Analysis in Wuhan, Hubei Province

    by Mengyang Dai, Jianfeng Liu, Min Hu, Feng Zhang, Yanjun Wang, Fangfang Dai, Rui Qu, Zhixiang Fang, Jing Yang

    Ambient air pollution has been associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); however, evidence regarding trimester-specific effects from China remains limited. This case–control study study analyzed data from pregnant women who delivered in Wuhan, China, between 2017 and 2022 (164 GDM cases and 731 controls), integrating geographic information, air quality measurements, and maternal characteristics. Using Inverse Distance Weighting interpolation and Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM), we assessed associations between air pollutant exposure and GDM across different gestational periods. Results indicated that NO2 demonstrated the strongest association with GDM compared to other pollutants. Specifically, increased NO2 exposure was consistently associated with higher GDM risk throughout pregnancy. PM2.5 exposure showed significant associations during early and mid-pregnancy, while SO2 exposure was significantly associated with GDM risk exclusively in early pregnancy. Sensitivity analyses stratified by urban maternity status and maternal age revealed the stability of the study’s findings. These findings underscore the importance of reducing air pollution exposure during pregnancy and implementing targeted interventions for high-risk populations to prevent GDM development.
