Congratulations to our student Yuzhi DENG on publishing first part of her PhD thesis work examining adiposity in offspring of mothers with or without #GDM in the HAPO Study Hong Kong Field Centre. We observed independent effects on adiposity 0-11 from GDM and maternal obesity

Important to think beyond categorical definitions of #GDM but consider the graded effects of maternal hyperglycaemia on offspring adiposity and glycaemic traits. Effects still evident at 18 year follow-up of HAPO Study HK field centre @yuzhideng CUHK Obstetrics and Gynaecology International DOHaD Society FIGO HQ
