Summary

Maternal vitamin D deficiency has been suggested to influence fetal and neonatal health. The role of placenta in vitamin D regulation is known but alteration of Vitamin D levels at placental pathologies is unknown. Placental calcification is usually thought to be a physiological aging process. Nevertheless, it can be a pathological change resulting from the effects of environmental factors on the placenta. The aim of the investigators study was to evaluate the relationship between placental calcification and maternal and cord blood 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3 \[25(OH)D\] and calcium concentrations in low-risk obstetric population at term and their consequences.
