Researchers from McGill University Sainte Anne de Bellevue in Canada conducted a scoping review to provide an overview of the latest evidence from studies regarding the impact of maternal risk factors on infant 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations, with a focus on studies in Canada and the U.S. This article was published in the journal Nutrition Research.
The researchers emphasize the need for additional research to determine if the same target for 25(OH)D concentration applies for pregnant women, neonates and infants.
