As we know during prenatal third-trimester vitamin D supplementation (875 µg (35 000 IU)/week) appreciably ameliorated newborn vitamin D condition during the neonatal phase when the jeopardy of vitamin D deficiency is most [16]. Various works projected to find out the class of these micronutrients in local population have accounted that the people in Bangladesh are at soaring risk of hypovitaminosis D related health difficulties [17].…”

Such unawareness involves that most of this population is ignorant of other health and nutrition issues as we know iron deficiency is associated with increased risks for mainly of the general diseases like fever, diarrhea/dysentery and pneumonia and skin disease [16]. Iron deficiency amongst pregnant women has been suggested to reason about a predictable 111,000 maternal deaths each year worldwide.…”
