Abstract: Objective To analyze the difference of body composition between gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) and health pregnant at 24 to 28 weeks' gestation. Methods Samples of 43 GDM women and 42 health pregnant women were collected as two groups, who have been registered in the medical documentation in Tongren Hospital during October 2013 to April 2014. Data such as weight, height and body mass index(BMI) in progestation,and the weight, body moisture, muscle mass, body fat mass and body fat rate during 24 to 28 weeks' gestation were collected and analyzed. Results There was no significant difference(P > 0.05) between two groups in pre-pregnancy weight and BMI, BMI during 24 to 28 weeks' gestation and BMI increased value. Compared to health group, the body moisture, muscle mass, body fat mass and body fat rate data of GDM group during 24 to 28 weeks' gestation was significantly higher(P < 0.05). Conclusion GDM women's body fat rate, body moisture were significantly higher than health women, which indicates that rigorous control of fat increase will help to prevent GDM occurrence.The monitoring of body composition change, especially the body moisture change, may help to diagnose pregnancy complication in early stage.
