Article Synopsis
- The study explored the link between maternal vitamin D levels and newborn size in women with twin pregnancies, as vitamin D deficiencies are common in pregnant women.
- It involved 50 women and analyzed maternal blood and umbilical cord blood for vitamin D concentrations, while also collecting newborn growth data.
- Results indicated that neonate size wasn't influenced by vitamin D levels; instead, factors like pregnancy type and maternal height played a significant role in newborn growth metrics.
Background: There is a huge gap in the knowledge of the body's nutrient resources in women with multiple gestations. Due to the increased demand hypothesis and taking into account common vitamin D deficits in women with singleton pregnancies, this issue should also be investigated in twin pregnancies. This study evaluated blood vitamin D concentration in women with twin pregnancies and in the umbilical cord blood of their newborns as well as analyzed environmental factors that may affect the level of this nutrient.
