Diabetes+Obesity = congenital anomalies baby
Recent studies are showing some interesting facts
Prevalence of maternal obesity is increasing day by day.
and anomalies of fetus in utero is also increased,
maternal weight alone was not associated with an increase in congenital anomalies.
Diabetes was significantly associated with the increase in the rate of anomalies seen in our population. Identification of maternal weight as a risk factor in epidemiologic studies may be a surrogate for pregestational diabetes.
