“…Notably, Cassidy-Bushrow, et al also found history of depression to have a minimal effect on their estimates. 22 Some limitations of our study deserve mention. First, our study, which is moderate in size, may not be powered to assess statistically significant associations.…”

“…21 However, the association of vitamin D with mood and anxiety symptoms during pregnancy is under-investigated. In the two available published reports in this research area to date, conducted among African American 22 and European women, 23 second trimester vitamin D was inversely related to depression symptoms. Since vitamin D deficiency is potentially preventable, such investigations can provide potential opportunities to improve mood and anxiety disorder related pregnancy outcomes.…”

“…Despite this, past studies within pregnant populations have not explicitly tested effect modification by prepregnancy body mass index or LTPA during pregnancy. [22][23] Given the promising link between vitamin D deficiency and antenatal mood and anxiety disorders, and, the significant knowledge gap in the understanding of the relationships, we investigated cross-sectional associations of early pregnancy serum vitamin D concentrations with self-reported depressive and anxiety symptoms, assessed using validated survey instruments. We also evaluated potential effect modification of these associations by prepregnancy body mass index and LTPA.…”

Objective: To evaluate associations between early pregnancy 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations and antepartum depression and anxiety symptoms and potential modifiers thereof. Materials and Methods: In a pregnancy cohort (N = 498), we examined cross-sectional associations of early pregnancy (mean = 15.4 weeks gestation) serum 25[OH]D concentrations and depression and anxiety symptoms. Symptoms were measured using Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS-21) and Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Module (PHQ-9) instruments. Regression models were fit and effect modification by prepregnancy body mass index and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) were assessed using interaction terms and stratified analyses. ( < 28.9 ng/mL) had 1.11 higher PHQ-9 scores than those in the highest quartile ( ‡ 39.5 ng/mL, p < 0.05). However, associations were attenuated and statistically insignificant in fully adjusted models. Inverse associations of 25[OH]D with depression symptoms were significant among participants who reported no LTPA, but not among women who reported any LTPA (interaction p = 0.018). Conclusions: Our study provides modest evidence for inverse cross-sectional associations of early pregnancy maternal vitamin D concentrations with antepartum depression symptoms. We also observed that these associations may be modified by physical activity.

“…Vitamin D deficiency and inadequacy are common during pregnancy, especially among African-American women (Johnson et al, 2011;Cassidy-Bushrow et al, 2012a;Nassar et al, 2011) and African-American women also appear to be at a higher risk of altered inflammatory responses (Ness et al, 2004;Van Dyke et al, 2009). Therefore, we sought to explore the association between early-pregnancy VDN as assessed by serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the best available measure of overall VDN status and the most clinically useful, and mid-pregnancy biomarkers of inflammation, specifically in African-American women.…”

Calcium is imperative in maintaining a quality life, particularly during later ages. Its deficiency results in a wide range of metabolic disorders such as dental changes, cataracts, alterations in brain function, and osteoporosis. These deficiencies are more pronounced in females due to increased calcium turnover throughout their life cycle, especially during pregnancy and lactation. Vitamin D perform a central role in the metabolism of calcium. Recent scientific interventions have linked calcium with an array of metabolic disorders in females including hypertension, obesity, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), multiple sclerosis, and breast cancer. This review encompasses these female metabolic disorders with special reference to calcium and vitamin D deficiency. This review article aims to present and elaborate on available data regarding the worldwide occurrence of insufficient calcium consumption in females and allied health risks, to provide a basis for formulating strategies and population‐level scientific studies to adequately boost calcium intake and position where required.

Vitamin D Nutritional Status and Antenatal Depressive Symptoms in African American Women

Abstract: African American women with lower VDN exhibit increased depressive symptoms. Research on vitamin D supplementation for reducing antenatal depressive symptoms is needed.
