Article Synopsis
- - Vitamin D is crucial for calcium and phosphate regulation, but its impact on fetal bone strength remains uncertain; this study examined the connection between maternal 25(OH)D levels and neonatal bone strength in 81 mother-infant pairs using quantitative ultrasound.
- - The research found that while maternal and cord blood 25(OH)D levels were strongly correlated, with cord blood levels being higher, there was no significant link between maternal vitamin D levels and neonatal bone strength or growth indicators.
- - Additionally, certain demographic factors influenced maternal vitamin D levels, with Jewish mothers having higher levels than Muslim mothers; however, bone strength (measured as speed of sound in tibial bones) remained similar across different maternal vitamin D status groups.
