Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency (Vit D deficiency) is a global health concern and a common occurrence especially among pregnant women. It has been suggested that Vit D deficiency has implications on both the mother and the foetus. Vitamin D deficiency is the most under-diagnosed nutritional deficiency in the world, affecting the majority of individuals, irrespective of their geography, gender, age or race. Vitamin D deficiency is also linked with several diseases (autoimmune diseases, cancer, cardiovascular, dementia and musculoskeletal diseases). Therefore, appropriate supplementation is required in a deficient population. A diagnosis can be missed as symptoms associated with pregnancy are also seen in vitamin D-deficient women. A timely diagnosis and treatment can be beneficial as these disorders can cause maternal and foetal morbidity. Vitamin D status during pregnancy has been associated with maternal and foetal morbidity, but reported findings are inconsistent.
