Article Synopsis
- - Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is a major health concern affecting women and their babies, with evidence linking it to various complications during and after pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes and low birth weight.
- - A review of literature from Europe over the past decade identified strong associations between VDD and adverse maternal and fetal health outcomes, including increased risks of preeclampsia, preterm birth, asthma, and autism spectrum disorder.
- - The review calls for standardized guidelines for vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy, recommending daily intakes of 400-2,000 IU, and emphasizes the need for future research on consistent assessment methods and preventative strategies in prenatal care.
