1351-P: Association of Muscle/Fat Mass Ratio in the First Trimester with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Chinese Subjects

This study aims to evaluate the association of muscle/fat mass ratio in the first trimester with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Chinese subjects. A total of 3011 pregnant women were recruited from our hospital, Guangzhou, China, from Jan 2017 to Dec 2017. The muscle/fat mass ratio (< 13⁺⁶ weeks’ gestation) and 75-g OGTT (24-28 weeks’ gestation) were measured in each subject. The muscle/fat mass ratio was assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis. GDM was diagnosed according the IADPSG guideline (2010). All subjects had average age 29 years (interquartile range:27-32 years), mean pregestational body mass index 20.7±2.6kg/m², muscle/fat mass ratio 2.64±0.65. Five hundred and forty eight subjects (17.9%) were diagnosed as GDM. The prevalence of GDM were 25.9%, 20.4%, 14.1%, and 11.3% among subjects with muscle/fat mass ratio in 1st quartile (≤2.15), 2nd quartile (2.16-2.61), 3rd quartile (2.62-3.08), and 4th quartile(≥3.09), respectively. The prevalence of GDM decreased while muscle/fat mass ratio increased. The area under ROC curve was 0.612 (0.595-0.630) for the muscle/fat mass ratio in predicting GDM (P<0.0001) and the threshold of 2.59 yielded the highest combination of sensitivity (63.2%) and specificity (55.7%). This study suggested the muscle/fat mass ratio in the first trimester may be used as an index to predict GDM in Chinese subjects.
