Abstract

Vitamin D deficiency is still accepted as a global public health problem. The levels of vitamin D of the individuals in the USA, Canada, and European countries which are recognized socioeconomically as developed countries are not even at the desired level. With the discovery of the receptors of vitamin D in numerous tissues and organs, notably the musculoskeletal system, it is no more accepted as the hormone having a part only in the calcium-phosphorus metabolisms. Vitamin D level <30 ng/mL is considered a deficiency by many authors. Thus far, many studies have instantiated that vitamin D deficiency may be related to many disorders such as cardiovascular, metabolic, autoimmune diseases and gestational diabetes mellitus, preeclampsia, low birth weight, especially osteomalacia and rickets. Though there is not a consensus for the optimal dose, it is suggested by most of the researchers to get vitamin D support of 2000 IU during the gestation and lactation periods considering the negative maternal and neonatal effects.
