Correlation between Vitamin D deficiency and SGA and FGR fetuses and perinatal results

Introduction: Pregnancy is a unique, dynamic state, where vitamin D requirements are increased, to meet the needs of the mother and the fetus, regarding calcium and skeletal concentrations. Maternal vitamin D deficiency is associated with bone size and bone density after birth, and may increase the risk of developing osteoporotic fracture in adulthood. Studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency is also linked to the birth of underweight babies, possibly through a mechanism leading to the occurrence of preeclampsia.
Materials and methods: The purpose of the present study is to examine the role of vitamin D during pregnancy in the emergence of low birth weight embryos and intrauterine growth restriction, through a comprehensive review of Greek and international literature and research.
Results: Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of adverse side effects, such as premature neonates, the need for postoperative care and delayed fetal growth and growth. The increased risk of preterm birth and the limitation of fetal development result in the birth of low birth weight neonates.
Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia, impaired glucose tolerance and a higher chance of caesarean section. On the other hand, low vitamin D levels in the prenatal period are likely to be associated with an increased risk of preterm birth and low birth weight neonates.
