PREVALENCE OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY IN PREGNANT WOMEN AND THEIR NEWBORNS
Keywords:
Vitamin D, Deficiency, Pregnant women, NewbornAbstract
The study was conducted in both private and public hospitals, so the study population consisted of pregnant women with average or higher socioeconomic status. Because of this, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency may be underestimated. Because the study lasted only 6 months, the effects of seasonal variations could not be studied. A study of pregnant women and their newborns in several outpatient clinics found high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency. Further large-scale studies are needed to determine the possible causes of vitamin D deficiency. During pregnancy, you need healthy foods such as fish, milk, butter, meat, eggs, and walking, and taking appropriate supplements containing vitamin D and calcium if the need arises.
