Overview

Cross-sectional study examines hypovitaminosis D prevalence in breastfed babies, suggesting necessary supplementation.

Key Points

  • Hypovitaminosis D prevalence in exclusive breastfed infants indicates need for vitamin D supplementation.
  • Significant correlation between vitamin D and both alkaline phosphatase and calcium levels observed.
  • Cross-sectional study from Tahta General Hospital, analyzing blood samples from newborns during 6 months.
  • Vitamin D deficiency may lead to elevated parathormone, increasing risk of bone diseases in infants.
