Association of Vitamin D and Weight Status With Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in a Large Pediatric Population: Cross-Sectional Study
Vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency is associated with suboptimal neurodevelopmental outcomes in a sex-dependent manner modulated by weight status, challenging "one-size-fits-all" clinical models. We advocate for stratified, sex-specific screening and personalized pediatric care strategies.
