Plasma concentrations of vitamin A and E and risk of dysglycemia in first-trimester pregnant Saudi women.

Background: Existing evidence suggest that low concentrations of vitamin A and E may have a contribution to the development of diabetes complications; however, data regarding the status of vitamin A and E among individuals with prediabetes are lacking. This study aimed to examine the association of plasma concentrations of vitamin A and E with the glycemic control status among first trimester pregnant Saudi women.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1102 first trimester pregnant Saudi women were recruited from antenatal clinics.
