Abstract
Objective: to assess the vitamin D status of pregnant women residing in the Republic of Tajikistan across different stages of gestation.
Material and methods: the study was conducted at the clinical base of the SI “ Republican Medical Genetics Center” and included 68 pregnant women from various regions of Tajikistan. Each participant attended a single study visit, during which informed consent was obtained, medical history was collected, and blood samples were drawn for laboratory analysis.
Results: the study cohort included 68 pregnant women from various regions of Tajikistan, who were divided into four groups based on vitamin D status. Analysis of the distribution of vitamin D status in the study population revealed a systemic nature of its deficiency across all surveyed regions.
Conclusion: assessment of vitamin D status in the population of pregnant women of the Tajikistan demonstrated a significant deficiency, with a concerning trend of progressive decline in its level by the third trimester of gestation.
