Maternal Vitamin D Status and Neonatal Bone Strength (Vitamin D)

February 11, 2013 updated by: Meir Medical Center

Objectives:

  1. To determine the incidence of vitamin D deficiency among Israeli pregnant women
  2. To access whether maternal vitamin D status affects infant bone strength.

Methods:

  1. Vitamin D levels -in cord blood and maternal blood

  2. The mother will fill a demographic and nutritional questionnaire

    The Infants:

  3. Growth assessment of the infants: weight length and head circumference
  4. Bone strength measurement by Quantitative Ultrasound (Sunlight Omnisense 7000/8000TM)
