Gestational Diabetes Rate Up 36% from 2016.
Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy and can have long-term effects on a woman’s cardiovascular and metabolic health. From 2016 to 2024, its incidence increased each year, rising from 58 to 79 cases per 1,000 births. Researchers suggest this upward trend may reflect worsening cardiometabolic health among young adults, including poorer dietary patterns, lower physical activity levels, and rising obesity rates.
