Impact of maternal serum 25( <scp>OH</scp> )D concentration in the third trimester on birth outcomes and cord blood <scp>FGF23</scp> levels
This study demonstrated a positive association between maternal serum 25(OH)D concentration and early infant growth outcomes. Cord blood FGF23 levels were associated with maternal vitamin D levels and neonatal growth, suggesting a potential role of FGF23 in the underlying mechanism of fetal growth restriction associated with vitamin D deficiency. These findings highlight the relevance of adequate maternal vitamin D status during pregnancy for promoting healthy perinatal growth.
