| Abstract: | Vitamin D refers to a group of fat-soluble secosteroids It is essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. It also plays many other important roles in the body, including regulating inflammation and immune function. The present paper discuss different studies about Vitamin D status in pregnant women In a study High Prevalence of Vitamin D Deficiency in Pregnant Women: A National Cross-Sectional Survey conducted by Stefanie vandevijvere et al; 2012, during 2010-2011 in Belgium. The women were selected via a multi-stage proportionate-to-size sampling design. Blood samples were collected and a questionnaire was completed face-to-face. 55 obstetric clinics were randomly selected and 1311 pregnant women participated in the study. The median serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH)D] concentration was significantly lower in the first trimester (20.4 ng/ml) than in third trimester (22.7 ng/ml). Of all women, 74.1% (95%CI = 71.8–76.5%) were Vitamin D insufficient (25-(OH)D ,30 ng/ml), 44.6% (95%CI = 41.9–47.3%) were Vitamin D deficient (25-(OH)D,20 ng/ml), while 12.1% (95%CI = 10.3–13.8%) were severely Vitamin D deficient (25-(OH)D ,10 ng/ml). Of all women included, 62.0% reported taking Vitamin D-containing multivitamins, of which only 24.2% started taking those before pregnancy. The risk of Vitamin D deficiency (25-(OH)D< 20 ng/ml) was significantly higher for less educated women and women who reported not going on holidays to sunny climates. The risk of severe Vitamin D deficiency (25-(OH)D < 10 ng/ml) decreased for women who reported alcohol consumption during pregnancy, decreased with more frequent use of sunscreen lotion and increased for smokers and women who reported preference for shadow. In conclusion, Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent among pregnant women in Belgium and this raises concerns about the health consequences for the mother and the offspring. A targeted screening strategy to detect and treat women at high risk of severe Vitamin D deficiency is needed in Belgium and in Europe. |
