Abstract :

VDD in pregnant women and their children is a major health problem, with potential adverse consequences for overall health. Prevention strategies should ensure the Vitamin D sufficiency in women during pregnancy and lactation. Evidence based interventions to improve maternal and fetal nutrition, such as for Vitamin D, are accompanied by a decrease of the impact on the health of their children. This study also points towards the fact that the high level of newborn’s hypovitaminosis D may be correctable by correction of maternal hypovitaminosis D. Vitamin D supplementation campaigns which should cover pregnant women and the newborn to prevent maternal and perinatal vitamin D deficiency should be implemented especially in high risk areas.
