    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND & AIMS: To investigate the association of VitD with GDM, and examine the potential modifying effect of prepregnancy BMI in Chinese pregnant women. METHODS: 3318 pregnant women underwent oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were selected from Zhoushan Pregnant Women Cohort. Plasma VitD levels were measured in the first (T1) and/or second trimester (T2). Multiple linear and logistic regression models were used for evaluating the association of VitD with GDM. RESULTS: Prepregnancy BMI was positively associated with all three time-point glucose of OGTT. 25(OH)D level in T1 (β = -0.003) and T2 (β = -0.004), and its change from T1 to T2 (β = -0.004) were significantly and inversely associated with fasting blood glucose (FBG) of OGTT, but not 1-h and 2-h postload blood glucose of OGTT, respectively. The negative associations of VitD and FBG were stronger among overweight/obese women. VitD deficiency (25(OH)D < 20 ng/ml) in T2 was associated with an increased risk of GDM with increased FBG, GDM subtype 1 (OR: 2.10) and subtype 3 (OR: 2.19). Moreover, prepregnancy BMI modified this effect on GDM subtype 1 (BMI < 24: OR = 1.42; BMI ≥ 24: OR = 9.61, P for interaction = 0.002). Lower VitD increment from T1 to T2 was associated with a higher risk for GDM among overweight/obese women. Additionally, GDM prevalence fluctuated with the season, i.e. lower in summer/fall and higher in winter/spring. CONCLUSIONS: Maternal VitD deficiency was associated with a higher risk of GDM subtype with increased FBG, and the risk is much greater among overweight/obesity women. The lower the VitD increment during pregnancy, the greater the risk of GDM, especially in overweight/obesity women. Furthermore, seasonal variation of GDM may be exhibited as a critical confounder in the association of VitD and GDM.
