A new study reports higher-dose vitamin D supplementation in pregnancy, and higher 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations in young children, may have positive associations with neurodevelopmental outcomes.
The study examined how vitamin D levels and vitamin D binding protein genotypes in both pregnant mothers and their children aged 3-5, impact early childhood neurodevelopment. Findings suggest that higher vitamin D concentrations in children were associated with better neurodevelopmental scores, with additional influences from sociodemographic factors and certain genetic variations.
