Through the conducted bibliographic review, it was able to discern a range of predisposing risk factors contributing to the development of gestational type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study also provides up-to-date and focused insights into the subject matter. The central objective of this thesis was to ascertain the principal risk factors contributing to the susceptibility of gestational type 2 diabetes mellitus. To achieve this goal, an exhaustive search was conducted across diverse websites and scholarly journals, including Scielo, Redalyc, Medigraphic, Dspace, Scopus, Dialnet, the Ecuadorian Virtual Health Library, as well as publications disseminated by the World Health Organization, among others. The accumulated information underwent systematic scrutiny, leading to the inclusion of 146 pertinent studies. Through meticulous analysis, a table was compiled featuring the nine most pivotal studies aligned with thematic analysis. This compilation delineated predisposing factors for the development of gestational type 2 diabetes mellitus, encompassing elements such as familial history of diabetes mellitus, maternal age exceeding 30 years, maternal body mass index surpassing 25, obstetric history, and ethnic background.
