    Abstract

    Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a prevalent endocrine disorder identified by glucose intolerance during pregnancy, associated with numerous complications for both the mother and the child. Methods This study investigates the correlation between anthropometric parameters, specifically mid-arm circumference (MAC), bicipital skinfold thickness (BSFT), and tricipital skinfold thickness (TSFT), and the development of GDM. Conducted at the Sir Sunderlal Hospital, Banaras Hindu University, the study involved 250 pregnant women between 24-28 weeks of gestation, screened using a 75 g Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Anthropometric measurements were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate logistic regression.
