Cross-sectional study assesses vitamin D deficiency rates and predictors in pregnant women, indicating significant risk factors.

The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was high, with 72.3% of women having levels < 20 ng/ml.
Women from Bahman hospital had significantly lower serum 25OHD levels, averaging 12.9 ng/ml compared to 18.1 ng/ml at the American University.
Younger age and veiling emerged as significant predictors of vitamin D insufficiency, emphasizing targeted interventions.
Proper screening and supplementation for vitamin D are crucial for pregnant women to mitigate adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Ajjour et al. (2025) studied this question.
