## Executive GIST (TL;DR)
- This cross-sectional observational study from Poland compared lifestyle behaviors, **physical activity**, dietary habits, supplementation, environmental exposures, family history, and **body composition** between pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and pregnant controls with normal glucose tolerance. - The study enrolled 80 pregnant women: 30 with GDM and 50 controls. Data collection used structured questionnaires for diet, activity, supplementation, and lifestyle factors. - Body composition was assessed with bioelectrical impedance analysis and skinfold thickness measurements; selected anthropometric parameters were also recorded. - Women with GDM were far more likely to report adherence to a prescribed diet (77% vs 0%, P<0.0001) and to report greater nutritional knowledge (93% vs 4%, P<0.001), interpreted as likely reflecting behavior change after diagnosis. - Compared with controls, the GDM group had greater skinfold thickness (21.5 vs 19.0 mm, P=0.011) and higher total body water (34.6% vs 31.9%, P=0.032), despite similar pre-pregnancy body mass index between groups. - Positive family history of obesity (63% vs 38%, P=0.049) and diabetes (53% vs 28%, P=0.043) were more common among women with GDM. - Use of dietary supplements was widespread and did not differ between groups. - Reduced physical activity levels were observed in both groups; the abstract reports no between-group difference in supplementation use. - The study concludes that GDM was associated with measurable differences in **body composition** and a higher prevalence of family history for metabolic disease, while higher dietary adherence and nutrition knowledge in the GDM group probably reflect post-diagnostic behavioral adaptations.

Lifestyle factors, including physical activity, diet, and body composition, may influence GDM risk, but integrated clinical data remain limited. We compared lifestyle-related factors, physical activity, dietary behaviors, and body composition between pregnant women with GDM and those with normal glucose tolerance and assessed differences in supplementation use, environmental exposures, family history of metabolic diseases, and selected anthropometric parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS This cross-sectional observational study included 80 pregnant women (30 with GDM and 50 controls). Participants completed structured questionnaires assessing diet, physical activity, supplementation, and lifestyle factors. Body composition was evaluated using bioelectrical impedance analysis and skinfold thickness measurements. Group differences were analyzed using nonparametric tests. RESULTS Women with GDM more frequently reported adherence to a prescribed diet (77% vs 0%, P<0.0001) and greater nutritional knowledge (93% vs 4%, P<0.001), likely reflecting behavioral changes following diagnosis. Compared with controls, women with GDM had greater skinfold thickness (21.5 vs 19.0 mm, P=0.011) and higher total body water (34.6% vs 31.9%, P=0.032), despite similar pre-pregnancy body mass index. Positive family histories of obesity (63% vs 38%, P=0.049) and diabetes (53% vs 28%, P=0.043) were more common in the GDM group. Supplementation use was widespread and comparable between groups. CONCLUSIONS GDM was associated with differences in body composition and family history of metabolic diseases. Reduced physical activity was observed in both groups, whereas dietary adherence and nutritional knowledge among women with GDM likely reflected post-diagnostic behavioral adaptations.
