ZJU Index and Gestational Diabetes Risk in US Women, NHANES 2007–2020

2240 women aged 20–45 from the US NHANES 2007–2020 survey, with 10% having gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The data was analyzed by Mengmeng Ye to assess the Zhejiang University (ZJU) index as a predictor of GDM and to evaluate mediation by inflammatory markers. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-08.

Use Cases

• Predicting gestational diabetes mellitus risk based on the ZJU index and demographic data.
• Analyzing the mediating role of inflammatory markers like PHR and LHR in metabolic disease associations.
• Comparing the predictive performance of the ZJU index against traditional markers like BMI and FPG.
• Conducting subgroup analyses of GDM risk across different population segments mentioned in the study.

Strengths

• Data from 2240 women provides a substantial sample for analysis.
• Includes a specific temporal coverage from the NHANES 2007–2020 cycles.
• Study reports specific performance metrics, such as an AUC of 0.718 for the ZJU index.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the underlying analysis dataset is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the NHANES survey and the specified study period.
