Abstract Objectives Maternal vitamin D status has gained substantial attention as a modifiable contributor to offspring musculoskeletal health, yet there is a paucity of trial-derived data to corroborate effects of prenatal or postpartum vitamin D supplementation on offspring bone mass accrual. Among maternal-infant pairs in Bangladesh, we aimed to examine the hypothesized causal association of early life vitamin D exposure with musculoskeletal health in childhood. Methods In a double-blind dose-ranging trial of maternal vitamin D3 supplementation (Maternal Vitamin D for Infant Growth Trial), healthy pregnant women (n = 1300) were recruited at 17–24 weeks’ gestation and randomly assigned to receive a prenatal; postpartum regimen of 0;0,4200;0,16,800;0,28,000;0 or 28,000;28,000 IU vitamin D3/week until 26 weeks postpartum. In a follow-up study of offspring at 4 years of age (n = 642), bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Between-group differences were assessed by independent t-tests (28,000 IU/week prenatally vs placebo) and linear regression (each vitamin D treatment group vs placebo) with bootstrapping (1000 replications). Results Whole-body (WB), total-body-less-head (TBLH) and head-only BMC were similar in the combined high-dose prenatal and placebo groups (mean difference [95% CI] = 6.81g [−8.70, 22.32], 0.61g [−10.90, 12.13] and 1.71g [−3.54, 6.96], respectively). None of the mean values for WB or TBLH BMC or BMD in each vitamin D group were different from placebo (P > 0.05 for all comparisons). Although head BMD was slightly greater in offspring of women assigned to the 28,000;28,000 IU regimen compared to placebo (mean difference [95% CI] = 0.024g/cm2 [0.0009, 0.047], P = 0.042), the effect was attenuated and no longer significant upon adjustment for child height, weight, and sex (P = 0.11). Conclusions In a population with high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, our findings do not support the use of maternal prenatal vitamin D supplementation, with or without postpartum supplementation, for improvement of child BMC or BMD at 4 years of age.

Maternal vitamin D insufficiency is associated with childhood rickets and longer-term problems including schizophrenia and type 1 diabetes. Whilst maternal vitamin D insufficiency is common in mothers with highly pigmented skin, little is known about vitamin D status of Caucasian pregnant women. The aim was to investigate vitamin D status in healthy Caucasian pregnant women and a group of age-matched non-pregnant controls living at 54–55°N. In a longitudinal study, plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was assessed in ninety-nine pregnant women at 12, 20 and 35 weeks of gestation, and in thirty-eight non-pregnant women sampled concurrently. Plasma 25(OH)D concentrations were lower in pregnant women compared to non-pregnant women (P < 0·0001). Of the pregnant women, 35, 44 and 16 % were classified as vitamin D deficient (25(OH)D < 25 nmol/l), and 96, 96 and 75 % were classified as vitamin D insufficient (25(OH)D < 50 nmol/l) at 12, 20 and 35 weeks gestation, respectively. Vitamin D status was higher in pregnant women who reported taking multivitamin supplements at 12 (P < 0·0001), 20 (P = 0·001) and 35 (P = 0·001) weeks gestation than in non-supplement users. Vitamin D insufficiency is evident in pregnant women living at 54–55°N. Women reporting use of vitamin D-containing supplements had higher vitamin D status, however, vitamin D insufficiency was still evident even in the face of supplement use. Given the potential consequences of hypovitaminosis D on health outcomes, vitamin D supplementation, perhaps at higher doses than currently available, is needed to improve maternal vitamin D nutriture.
