In this episode of the JACC: Asia podcast, Professor Hao-Min Cheng discusses a study on the association between pre-pregnancy cardiometabolic factors and the risk of gestational diabetes among Asian populations in the U.S., revealing that higher BMI and hypertension significantly increase the risk. The study also highlights that Asian Americans, despite having lower rates of obesity and hypertension, face a notably higher prevalence of gestational diabetes, emphasizing the need for further research on body fat distribution and early glucose screening to better manage this risk.
