It’s already known that women with gestational diabetes are at an increased risk of cardiovascular problems, but it’s less clear which specific types of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are involved. Compared to women without gestational diabetes, women with a history of gestational diabetes showed a 45% increased risk of overall cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, 72% for cardiovascular diseases and 40% for cerebrovascular diseases.

The association between gestational diabetes, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, was reduced to varying degrees when the researchers took account of factors such as geographical region, study design and quality, smoking, body mass index , socioeconomic status and pre-existing conditions.

However, they say their comprehensive and systematic analysis, along with the large sample size and country representativeness, means they are confident that their results are reliable and widely applicable.
