Plasma Manganese Levels and Risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Manganese (Mn) intake has been found to be linked with risk of type 2 diabetes. However, the role of Mn in the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remains to be investigated. This prospective study included pregnant women from the Tongji Maternal and Child Health Cohort. A total of 2327 participants with plasma specimens before 20 weeks were included. Among the pregnant women, 9.7% (225/2327) were diagnosed with GDM. After adjustment, pregnant women with the third and highest quartile of plasma Mn levels had 1.31-fold (RR, 2.31 [1.48, 3.61]) and 2.35-fold (RR, 3.35 [2.17, 5.17]) increased risk of GDM compared with those with the lowest quartile. A 1 standard deviation increment of ln-transformed plasma Mn levels (0.53 μg/L) was related to elevated risks of GDM with RRs of 1.28 [1.17, 1.40]. The positive associations between Mn and GDM remained consistent in all the subgroups. The weighted quantile sum index was significantly related to GDM (RR, 1.60 [1.37, 1.86]). The contribution of Mn (58.69%) to the metal mixture index was the highest related to GDM. Higher plasma Mn levels were found to be linked with elevated fasting and 2 h post-load blood glucose. This study revealed relationships of higher plasma Mn levels in early pregnancy and increased risk of GDM, suggesting that though essential, excess Mn in the body might be a potential important risk factor for GDM.
