Correlation between vitamin D levels and Anthropometry status in neonates

---

Background : Problems of vitamin D deficiency is now starting to become a concern in the
world because 1 million people worldwide have vitamin D deficiency and nearly 50% have
vitamin D insufficiency. Vitamin D deficiency is more common in neonates and influenced
by maternal status which can increase the risk of low birth weight. The aims of this study
was to determine the correlation between vitamin D levels and anthropometric status in
neonates.
Methods : This study was a cross sectional design. Sample was neonates at term. Data
was obtained from questionnaires, anthropometric measurements and vitamin D levels
from blood of neonates in Diponegoro National Hospital and Dr. Kariadi General Hospital,
Semarang. The data normality test used the Saphiro-Wilk test. Correlation test between
vitamin D levels and anthropometric status using the Pearson test, and test levels of
vitamin D with anthropometric indices using the Spearman test.
Results : Median neonatal vitamin D levels were 12.12 (6.09  19.52). There was no
significant correlation between vitamin D levels and neonatal age, neonatal
anthropometric indices, maternal sun exposure and neonatal diet type. This is influenced
by several other factors that are consistent with the theory such as neonatal nutrition,
genetics, time and length of sun exposure, poor dietary intake.
Conclusion : There was no significant correlation between vitamin D levels and weight,
body length, height, anthropometric indices of weight-for-age, weight -for-height, and
height-for-age z-score in neonates.
Keywords : vitamin D, anthropometry, neonates
