Abstract
Excess visceral adipose tissue is associated with insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and high serum levels of free fatty acids.
First trimester assessment of insulin resistance, using the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance or the insulin sensitivity index, appears to correlate well with later development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.
Recently, Martin and colleagues found that greater visceral adipose tissue depth in the first trimester of pregnancy will associate with hyperglycemia at 24 to 28 weeks‟ gestation.
The aim of our study is to Study the relationship Between Abdominal Visceral Adiposity and Insulin Resistance in Prediction of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Early Pregnancy.
Our study included 83 pregnant women between (11-14) weeks, and (16-22) weeks, from Obstetrics and Gynecology department at Kafer El-Zayat Hospital.
Inclusion criteria: Pregnant women from 11 to 14 Week (For Abdominal Adiposity Measurement) and 16: 22 week (For oral Glucose Tolerance Test Measurement) and Viable Singleton Pregnancy.
Exclusion criteria: Pre- gestational diabetes mellitus, previous history of gestational diabetes mellitus, Multiple Pregnancies and Other medical disorder with pregnancy.
The following was done for all the patients:
1- History was obtained.
2- Examination was done:
