Vitamin D levels during pregnancy tied to postpartum depression - Video
Overview
Results from a meta-analysis have suggested a possible association between vitamin D levels at mid-pregnancy and postpartum depression (PPD). Considering this, women at risk for PPD should be made aware of this potential association and ways to maintain normal vitamin D levels. Postpartum depression, a prevalent mood disorder, is estimated to affect 20%-40% of women worldwide after childbirth. Recent studies have investigated the effect of vitamin D on the prevention of depression and mood disorders but it still remains unclear how vitamin D may affect PPD.
In the study, published in the Journal of Pharmacy Technology, Israa Mahmood, Idaho State University, Pocatello, ID, USA, and colleagues aimed to evaluate evidence regarding 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OD) D) levels during pregnancy and its association with PPD.
