Vitamin D Level in Pregnancy, Gestational Diabetes and Women of Reproductive Age

Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine vitamin D levels in healthy gestations, gestational diabetic pregnancies and healthy women during the reproductive age. Materials and Methods: Vitamin D was measured immunochemically from sera from 28 healthy pregnant women, 15 gestational diabetic pregnant women and 30 healthy young adult women ages 18-43 year. Results: Vitamin D deficiency was found in all groups [healthy pregnancies (11.8±7.4), gestational diabetics (10.6±5.7), and healthy young women (12.1±5.4) ng/mL]. There is no significant difference between the groups (p=0.54). Conclusion: Vitamin D level is not sufficient in all pregnancies and young adult women. So vitamin D supplementation should be performed.
