Objective:
To investigate the age cutoff point for the detection of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Method:
Case-control study with 416 pregnant women served at a prenatal outpatient clinic of a maternity hospital in Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. The analysisof the receiver operating characteristic curve was performed with the data to determine values with sensitivity optimization according to the specificity.Results:
It is estimated that the odds ratio in a woman aged ≥25 years for developing gestational diabetes mellitus is 2.3 times higher. The age ≥22.5 years was determined as a point that maximizes the chance of developing gestational diabetes mellitus. The chance of finding this disease in a woman aged 22.5 years or older is three times greater than in younger women.Conclusion:
The age cutoff point that suggests the need for greater glycemic monitoring in pregnant women was 22.5 years.
