Abstract
Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is associated with adverse health outcomes in pregnancy and newborns. This study aims to determine the Vitamin D status among pregnant Malaysian women and its associations with specific maternal pregnancy characteristics. Methods: This study utilised cross-sectional data from a prospective cohort study of pregnant women in Seremban district in which 259 pregnant women had available vitamin D data. Blood samples were taken 14th week of gestation. Serum 25-hydroxy Vitamin D 25(OH)D levels were analysed using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) technology on the ARCHITECT iSystem and categorised using the Institute of Medicine (IOM) 2011 cutoffs. A set of pre-tested interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information on socio-demographics obstetrics and anthropometry. Results: Mean serum 25(OH)D was 32.8311.37nmol/L. The prevalence of severe and mild VDD was 23.2 (n60) and 68.3 (n177) respectively. About 8.5 (n22) of pregnant women were vitamin D insufficient and none had sufficient serum 25(OH)D (75nmol/L). Early pregnancy body mass index (AOR2.95 95 CI1.03-8.47) working status (AOR3.17 95 CI1.06“9.50) and gravidity (AOR0.68 95 CI0.48“0.98) were significantly associated with VDD. Conclusion: The present study showed a high prevalence of VDD among pregnant women in Malaysia especially among those who were overweight or obese working in indoor environment and primigravida.
