| الوصف: | The objective of the study is to compare the dietary vitamin D and calcium intake among subfertile women (cases) versus pregnant women (controls) and to determine the vitamin D levels in the subfertile and pregnant women. The study design was an observational case-control study where a total of 181 (83 previously diagnosed subfertile cases from various causes and 98 pregnant controls) women of reproductive age. A validated questionnaire was used where it focused on key indicators evaluating vitamin D-related factors. Blood was withdrawn for the measurement of serum calcium, albumin and phosphate to exclude secondary causes that might affect vitamin D level.The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was significantly higher in the subfertile group than controls (59.0% versus 40.4%; p 0.01). Calcium supplements intake was significantly higher in controls than the subfertile group (64.6% versus 10.0%; p value 0.001). Total dietary vitamin D intake ( 400 IU/day) was significantly higher in the controls than the subfertile group.Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent among subfertile women. Optimization of serum calcium and vitamin D levels is encouraged. |
