Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in relation to lipids and clinical outcomes in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus: an observational cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) status at 24-28 weeks is associated with blood lipids and pregnancy outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

A total of 261 pregnant women diagnosed with GDM at 24-28 weeks of gestation in our hospital were included between June 2015 and December 2017. According to the levels of 25(OH)D, the women were divided into the G1 (<20 ng/mL) and G2 (≥20 ng/mL) groups. The levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), TG/HDL-c and TC/HDL-c ratios were ob
