  • Women had over twice the rate of YLDs vs. men (739.9 vs. 346.1/1,00,000)
  • Medication-overuse headache significantly amplified burden (56·1%-58·9% of YLD estimates for tension-type headache & 14·1%-22·6% of YLD estimates for migraines)

  • In a meta-analysis of 29 studies (N=2,442,001), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was linked to increased risk of postpartum depression (PPD; RR:1.42; P<0.001)
  • Subgroup differences were significant only by PPD measurement tool (P<0.001)
  • Findings highlight GDM as a key risk factor for PPD, supporting targeted screening & psychological support for affected women during pregnancy & after delivery.
