DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Sarcopenia tests (for muscle mass, muscle function, physical performance)

We are not aware of any other study performing sarcopenia tests in GDM (or in pregnancy in general), with the aim of assessing sarcopenia prevalence in GDM/pregnancy, and related possible adverse pregnancy outcomes.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

The OGTT, in combination with the sarcopenia tests, will allow to explore the relationships between the glucometabolic condition and the muscle quality in the pregnant women, either with GDM or with normal glucose tolerance.

OTHER

Montreal Cognitive Assessment

The MoCA questionnaire, in combination with the sarcopenia tests, will allow to explore the relationships between the cognitive function the presence of the sarcopenia syndrome in the pregnant women, either with GDM or with normal glucose tolerance.
