Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and maternal vitamin D levels while considering various demographic factors.
Cross-sectional analysis involving 100 women with singleton pregnancies, 50 with GDM and 50 controls.
Assessment of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels during the 24- to 28-week gestation period.
Comparison of vitamin D levels and demographic factors between GDM cases and normoglycemic controls.
Only 11% of participants had adequate vitamin D levels; 22% showed insufficiency, and 67% were deficient.
Significant associations found between GDM and age, family history of diabetes, body mass index (BMI), and physical inactivity.
No significant difference in mean vitamin D levels was observed between women with GDM and those without (P = .05).
