“…Neonatal vitamin D concentration also contributes toward the adipocyte cell development of infant body and has inverse relationship: greater the concentration, lower will be the adipogenesis (Horan et al, 2017). At genetic level, maternal vitamin D insufficiency is found to foster genetic mutation in nonobese neonates, and can alter the genes associated with adipose tissue development (Belenchia et al, 2018).…”

The role of vitamin D in improving maternal health and reducing the risk of developmental disorders in fetus has been an important domain of research since the past few years. Vitamin D, owing to its immunomodulatory, anti‐inflammatory, developmental roles, and regulating calcium homeostasis, is predicted to have a significant influence on maternal and fetal health status. Several observational studies and clinical trials, determining the impact of vitamin D on gestational diabetes, C‐section, postpartum depression, pre‐eclampsia, miscarriages, and preterm delivery, have been elaborated in this review. In addition, fetal birth defects including neurological development, reduced birth weight, respiratory infections, bone development, and altered anthropometrics have also been summarized with available evidences. Other important mechanisms related to the roles of vitamin D in the body are also explained. Furthermore, recent studies determining the effect of vitamin D at genetic level will also help in understanding and future design of research in the area of maternal and fetal health.
