Abstract

Background PREGNANT WOMEN and NEWBORNS are at risk of VITAMIN D deficiency. This study aimed to determine the VITAMIN D status in PREGNANT WOMEN and their NEWBORNS in Karaj, IRAN.Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2014 to October 2015. A total of 151 PREGNANT WOMEN and 154 NEWBORNS (three twin cases) were included in the study. After obtaining 5 ml venous blood samples from mothers and 5 ml blood from the umbilical cord of NEWBORNS, 25-hydroxy VITAMIN D [25 (OH) D] was measured by ELISA method. Serum level of 25 (OH) D below 20 ng/ml was considered deficiency, 21-29 ng/ml wasconsidered insufficient and 30-100 ng/ml was considered sufficient. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20.0.Results The prevalence of VITAMIN D deficiency and its insufficiency was 93.5% and 6.5% for PREGNANT WOMEN, 94.2% and 3.9% for NEWBORNS, respectively. The mean 25 (OH) D concentration in PREGNANT WOMEN and NEWBORNS was estimated to be 10.649±5.967 ng/ml and 10.574±6.280 ng/ml, respectively. There was a significant correlation between the mean 25 (OH) D concentration in mothers and their NEWBORNS (r=0.913 and p<0.001); 92.9% of mothers and their NEWBORNS had VITAMIN D deficiency simultaneously.Conclusion The results of this study showed that overall prevalence of VITAMIN D deficiencies (levels<30 ng/ml) in PREGNANT WOMEN and their NEWBORNS was estimated to be 100% and 98.1%, respectively and mean concentration of 25 (OH) D for PREGNANT WOMEN and their NEWBORNS is very low. Therefore, VITAMIN D deficiency should be considered as a serious health priority.
