The achievement of target 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations in pregnancy may be altered by maternal obesity.
The authors examined the effects of maternal supplementation of 10 μg compared with 20 μg vitamin D3/d on maternal and umbilical cord 25(OH)D. The secondary aim was to investigate the influence of maternal BMI (in kg/m2) on the response of the primary outcomes.
The authors performed a 2-arm parallel double-blind randomized trial with 240 pregnant women recruited throughout the year in Northern Ireland. Women were stratified by BMI to receive 10 or 20 µg vitamin D3/d from 12 gestational wk (GW) until delivery. Maternal blood samples collected at 12, 28, and 36 GW and from the umbilical cord were analyzed for total serum 25(OH)D. A total of 166 women completed the study.
Mean ± SD 25(OH)D at 36 GW was 80.8 ± 28.2 compared with 94.4 ± 33.2 nmol/L (P < 0.001) (10 compared with 20 µg vitamin D3/d, respectively). In those classified with 25(OH)D <50 nmol/L at baseline and assigned 10 µg vitamin D3/d, mean 25(OH)D concentrations remained <50 nmol/L at 36 GW, whereas those <50 nmol/L at baseline and assigned 20 µg vitamin D3/d, had mean 25(OH)D concentrations ≥50 nmol/L at 28 and 36 GW. In women with obesity and 25(OH)D <50 nmol/L at baseline, the related mean umbilical cord 25(OH)D was deficient (<25 nmol/L) in both treatment groups, whereas those with obesity and 25(OH)D ≥50 nmol/L at baseline had an average umbilical cord 25(OH)D between 25 and 50 nmol/L in both treatment groups.
Supplementation of 20 µg vitamin D3/d is needed to attain maternal and umbilical cord 25(OH)D concentrations ≥50 nmol/L on average, in those who start pregnancy with low 25(OH)D concentrations (<50 nmol/L). Under current recommendations, women with obesity and low 25(OH)D in early pregnancy are particularly vulnerable to maintaining a low 25(OH)D concentration throughout pregnancy and having an infant born with deficient 25(OH)D concentrations. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT02713009.
母体肥胖可能会影响妊娠时达到 25-羟维生素 D [25(OH)D] 目标浓度。
作者研究了与母体补充 10μg 与 20μg 维生素 D3/d 相比对母体和脐带 25(OH)D 的影响。次要目的是研究母体 BMI(kg/m2)对主要结局反应的影响。
作者进行了一项 2 臂平行双盲随机试验,在北爱尔兰全年招募了 240 名孕妇。根据 BMI 将女性分层,从妊娠 12 周(GW)开始至分娩时分别接受 10μg 或 20μg 维生素 D3/d。在 12、28 和 36 GW 时采集母体血样,并分析总血清 25(OH)D。共有 166 名女性完成了研究。
36 GW 时的平均±SD 25(OH)D 为 80.8±28.2 与 94.4±33.2 nmol/L(P<0.001)(10μg 与 20μg 维生素 D3/d 相比)。在基线时 25(OH)D <50 nmol/L 且接受 10μg 维生素 D3/d 治疗的患者中,25(OH)D 浓度在 36 GW 时仍保持<50 nmol/L,而在基线时 25(OH)D <50 nmol/L 且接受 20μg 维生素 D3/d 治疗的患者中,25(OH)D 浓度在 28 和 36 GW 时均≥50 nmol/L。在基线时肥胖且 25(OH)D <50 nmol/L 的女性中,两组治疗中脐带 25(OH)D 均不足(<25 nmol/L),而在基线时肥胖且 25(OH)D≥50 nmol/L 的女性中,两组治疗中脐带 25(OH)D 平均在 25 至 50 nmol/L 之间。
在那些起始妊娠时 25(OH)D 浓度较低(<50 nmol/L)的女性中,需要补充 20μg 维生素 D3/d 才能达到平均≥50 nmol/L 的母体和脐带 25(OH)D 浓度。根据当前的建议,在妊娠早期肥胖且 25(OH)D 较低的女性在整个妊娠期间维持较低的 25(OH)D 浓度并使婴儿出生时 25(OH)D 浓度不足的风险特别高。该试验在 ClinicalTrials.gov 上注册为 NCT02713009。
