Dataset Cardiometabolic outcomes of women exposed to hyperglycaemia first detected in pregnancy at 3-6 years post-partum in an urban South African setting.xlsx

Hyperglycaemia first detected during pregnancy(HFDP) has far-reaching maternal consequences beyond the pregnancy. Our study evaluated the cardiometabolic outcomes in women with prior HFDP versus women without HFDP 3-6 years post-partum in urban South Africa. Index preganancy data was captured retrospectively for all participants and then they were re-evaluated prospectively in the post-partum period for various anthropometric, metabolic and cardiovascular parameters. Both written and verabl consent was obtained for each participant and the study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. We found a higher cardiometabolic risk in women with a history of HFDP within 6 years post-partum.<b><br></b><b> </b>
