Abstract

Background: Vitamin D de ﬁ ciency (VDD) is a common concern. A high prevalence of VDD has been reported among pregnant women in different countries. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of VDD in the ﬁ rst trimester of pregnancy. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 267 pregnant women (before 14 weeks of gestation). The level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was measured. Demographic data (age, educational level, season of blood sampling, and vitamin D supplementation intake) were collected using a questionnaire. Results: Based on the results of the study, 205 out of 267 subjects (76.8%) had de ﬁ cient vitamin D levels (<20 ng/mL), 39 (14.6%) had insuf ﬁ cient levels (20 – 29 ng/mL), and 23 (8.6%) had suf ﬁ cient levels ( ≥ 30 ng/mL). In addition, 133 women (49.8%) had severe VDD. VDD The prevalence of VDD was higher among the younger age group than in the older group ( P =0.04). In multivariate analysis, the only variable that was signi ﬁ cantly associated with low vitamin D status was taking supplements. Those who were not receiving vitamin D supplements had higher odds of VDD status (adjusted odds ratio=77.3, 95% CI 23.9 – 249.6). Conclusion: VDD is a public health problem in the ﬁ rst trimester of pregnancy. Greater awareness among healthcare providers and the community is required for prevention and appropriate treatment.

伊朗孕妇维生素D缺乏症的患病率

背景:维生素D缺乏(VDD)是一个普遍关注的问题。据报道，在不同国家的孕妇中，VDD的发病率很高。本研究的目的是评估VDD在妊娠前三个月的患病率。方法:对267例妊娠14周前孕妇进行横断面研究。测定25-羟基维生素D (25(OH)D)水平。人口统计数据(年龄、教育水平、采血季节和维生素D补充摄入量)通过问卷调查收集。结果:267名受试者中有205人(76.8%)维生素D含量不足(<20 ng/mL)， 39人(14.6%)维生素D含量不足(20 - 29 ng/mL)， 23人(8.6%)维生素D含量充足(≥30 ng/mL)。此外，133名妇女(49.8%)有严重的VDD。青壮年组VDD患病率高于老年组(P =0.04)。在多变量分析中，唯一与维生素D水平低显著相关的变量是服用补充剂。未服用维生素D补充剂的患者患VDD的几率更高(调整后的优势比=77.3,95% CI 23.9 - 249.6)。结论:VDD是妊娠前三个月的一个公共卫生问题。需要医疗保健提供者和社区提高对预防和适当治疗的认识。
