TLDR
Vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy was associated with increased circulating 25(OH)D levels, birth weight, and birth length, and was not associated with other maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Vitamin D supplementation for women during pregnancy

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of supplementing with vitamin D alone or in combination with calcium or other vitamins and minerals given to women during pregnancy can safely improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal Mineral and Bone Metabolism During Pregnancy, Lactation, and Post-Weaning Recovery

TL;DR: This review addresses the current knowledge regarding maternal adaptations in mineral and skeletal homeostasis that occur during pregnancy, lactation, and post-weaning recovery and the impacts that these adaptations have on biochemical and hormonal parameters of mineralHomeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of vitamin D supplementation on non-skeletal disorders: a systematic review of meta-analyses and randomised trials

TL;DR: There remains little evidence to suggest that vitamin D supplementation has an effect on most conditions, including chronic inflammation, despite use of increased doses of vitamin D, strengthening the hypothesis that low vitamin D status is a consequence of ill health, rather than its cause.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D and cardiovascular disease prevention

TL;DR: Current available evidence does not support cardiovascular benefits or harms of vitamin D supplementation with the commonly used doses, and whether vitamin D has cardiovascular effects in individuals with overt vitamin D deficiency remains to be evaluated.

Vitamin D status in Chinese pregnant women and their newborns in Beijing and their relationships to birth size.

TL;DR: The study indicates that pregnant women and neonates residing in Beijing are at high risk of vitamin D deficiency and neonatal 25(OH)D concentrations are dependently related to maternal 25( OH)D levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal obesity and vitamin D sufficiency are associated with cord blood vitamin D insufficiency.

TL;DR: Obese women transfer less 25-OH D to offspring than normal-weight women, despite similar serum levels, which underscore the evolving relationships between maternal obesity, vitamin D nutritional status, and adiposity in the neonatal period that may influence subsequent childhood and adulthood vitamin D-dependent processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A nested case-control study of first-trimester maternal vitamin D status and risk for spontaneous preterm birth.

TL;DR: In a cohort of pregnant women with mostly sufficient levels of first-trimester serum 25(OH)D, vitamin D deficiency was not associated with spontaneous preterm birth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D status and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy.

TL;DR: Data do not support the hypothesis that higher 25(OH)D levels lower the overall risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and randomized trials of vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy should monitor for gestational hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of treatment of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency during pregnancy on fetal growth indices and maternal weight gain: a randomized clinical trial

TL;DR: Multivariate regression analysis for maternal weight gain, neonatal length, Neonatal weight and neonatal head circumference showed an independent correlation with maternal vitamin D level, and treatment of low serum vitamin D during pregnancy improves fetal growth indices and maternal weightgain.
