Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyAssociation of cord blood vitamin D at delivery with postpartum depression in Australian women.
Observational studies have implicated low serum vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D)) levels in the development of mood disorders. Postpartum depression (PPD) is an important public health issue, although little is known about its association with serum 25(OH)D. ⋯ This largest study to date of 25(OH)D levels at delivery and PPD did not reveal a consistent link with PPD.
