Core Tip	This study reveals an association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and dyslipidemia in the Buea Health District (BHD), Cameroon. The prevalence of GDM and dyslipidemia among pregnant women in the BHD was 10.6% and 31.90% respectively. Advanced maternal age, unemployment, less frequent exercise, and family history of diabetes mellitus are important predictors of GDM in the BHD. The observed prevalence of GDM and dyslipidemia, and their association, in the BHD underscores the urgent need for comprehensive clinical and public health strategies to enhanced screening, lifestyle changes, and postpartum follow-up in order to mitigate the associated health risks for both mothers and newborns.
