Vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy may be associated with increased offspring adiposity, but evidence from human studies is inconclusive. We examined associations between prenatal vitamin intake, 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) cord blood, and size body composition at birth 5 months. Participants included 605 mother-offspring dyads the Healthy Start study, an ongoing, pre-birth prospective cohort study Denver, Colorado, USA. Prenatal intake was assessed diet recalls questionnaires, measured via...
A previously healthy 11-year-old female, who emigrated from Central America four years prior, was admitted with eight days of fever, night sweats, and anorexia. Past medical history included severe bronchiolitis, varicella, hepatitis as a child. Upon admission, her physical exam significant for nontender cervical lymphadenopathy, intermittent erythematous papules on the upper extremities, mild abdominal tenderness.

Prenatal multivitamin/multimineral supplementation is commonly recommended to optimize maternal‐child health outcomes. However, in the presence of food fortification and access nutrient‐adequate diets, may result pregnant women consuming micronutrients excess amounts. This could potentially adverse offspring outcomes through alterations DNA methylation due consumption methyl donors. The purpose this analysis was compare micronutrient intake from foods supplements dietary reference intakes...
Micronutrient deficiencies during pregnancy are associated with an increased risk of chronic disease in offspring. There is some evidence that vitamin D deficiency offspring adiposity, but from human studies inconclusive. We examined associations (25‐hydroxyvitamin [25(OH)D]) cord blood neonatal size and body composition 600 mother‐infant dyads the Healthy Start study, ongoing, pre‐birth prospective cohort study Denver, Colorado. Total 25(OH)D (nmol/L) was measured serum collected at...
