Self-reported diabetes during pregnancy in the South African National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey: extent and social determinants.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Diabetes is a serious and growing public health concern in South Africa, but its prevalence and distribution in pregnant women is not well known. Women diagnosed with diabetes during pregnancy have a substantially greater risk of adverse health outcomes for both mother and child. This study aims to determine the prevalence and social determinants of diabetes during pregnancy in South Africa. METHODS:Data used in this study were from the 2012 South African National Nutrition and Health Examination Survey; a nationally representative cross-sectional household survey. The analysis was restricted to girls and women between the ages of 15 to 49 years who self-reported ever being pregnant (n = 4261) Logistic regression models were constructed to analyse the relationship between diabetes during pregnancy and several indicators including race, family history of diabetes, household income, area of residence and obesity. RESULTS:The prevalence of diabetes during pregnancy in South Africa was 3% (144 women) of all women who reported ever being pregnant. The majority of the women who had ever had diabetes were African (70%), 51% were unemployed and 76% lived in rural areas. Factors strongly associated with diabetes during pregnancy were age (1.04 [Odds Ratio], 0.01 [Standard Error]), family history of diabetes (3.04; 0.8) and race (1.91; 0.53). CONCLUSION:The analysis will contribute to an understanding of the prevalence of diabetes during pregnancy and its social determinants. This will help in the development of effective interventions targeted at improving maternal and child health for mothers at high risk.
