Core Tip	Large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants are a primary complication associated with gestational diabetes mellitus. While maternal hyperglycemia is a recognized risk factor for LGA, it may not be the sole contributor. Epidemiological studies have indicated that abnormal lipid metabolism significantly contributes to insulin resistance-a key pathophysiological mechanism in gestational diabetes mellitus. However, the link between lipid indices and LGA infant risk remains contentious, with inconsistent findings across studies. Consequently, the aim of the study was to assess the association between maternal lipid indices and LGA infant risk in our cohort.
