Abstract Aim of the Study Studies have shown that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) causes disproportionate growth and increased adiposity in their newborns; however, the effect of gestational glucose intolerance (GGI), i.e., 2 h plasma glucose (PG) between 120 and 139 mg/dl in pregnancy on their newborns growth and adiposity is not well established. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of GGI in pregnancy on anthropometry and adiposity of their newborns at birth in urban South Indian population. Materials and Methods An observational study was conducted on 119 urban South Indian pregnant women and their newborns. PG levels 2 h after ingestion of 75 g glucose load were determined between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation, and depending on their PG levels, these women were categorized into three different groups, (a) normal glucose tolerance Dr. Ramya Shankar: MBBS, DGO, DNB in obstetrics and Gynaecology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Church of South India Hospital, Post Graduate, No. 2, Hazarat Kambal Posh Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka, Pincode: 560051, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Assistant Professor, MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital, Dandupalya, National Highway 4, 30th Km, Milestone, Kolathur P.O, Hoskote, Karnataka Pincode: 562114, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Consultant, St Mary’s Hospital.
