Objective: Pregnancy, gestational diabetes and induced hypertension are frequently observed in practice among the pregnant women, but their relationships are not well realized. The article aims to develop the relationship of pregnancy on diabetes, hypertension and some other related parameters.
Methods: The targeted response ‘the number of pregnancies’ is heteroscedastic, which is not stabilized by any suitable transformation. It is modeled herein using joint generalized linear models under both the lognormal and gamma distributions.
Results: It is derived herein that diabetic women (P=0.0053) become pregnant earlier than normal women. Mean pregnancy is positively linked to glucose level (P=0.0013) and age (P<0.0001), while it is negatively linked to their joint interaction effect Glucose*Age (P=0.00.. View More»
