Abstract
Objective: Approximately 6 to 13% of women suffer from antenatal depression (AD) around the world. AD can lead to several health problems for mother-baby. Vitamin D is a molecule that appears to have great preventive/therapeutic potential against neuropsychiatric disorders. The present study aimed to analyze the association between deficiency of vitamin D and AD in pregnant women in a city in the south of Brazil (Pelotas, RS). We hypothesize that pregnant women with a positive AD diagnosis have deficient levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D).
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a cohort study (CEP/UCPEL 47807915.4.0000.5339). From this cohort, 180 pregnant women at up to 24 weeks gestation were selected (130 non-depressed and 50 depressed), and the diagnosis of depression was made using the MINI-Plus. Blood was collected and stored for the later analysis of vitamin D (25(OH)D) by chemiluminescence method. The SPSS program was used for data analysis, and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: In our study, we showed a significant association between Major Depressive Episode current in the antenatal period and vitamin D deficiency (OR: 0.9; CI 95%: 0.9;1.0, p=0.003).
Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that vitamin D deficiency may be involved in major depressive disorder in the antenatal period, in this way it advised a follow-up of vitamin D levels in the pregnancy-puerperal cycle to minimize mental health problems in women and prevent developmental deficits in children.
目的:全世界约有 6% 至 13% 的妇女患有产前抑郁症(AD)。产前抑郁症可导致母婴出现多种健康问题。维生素 D 是一种对神经精神疾病具有巨大预防/治疗潜力的分子。本研究旨在分析巴西南部城市佩洛塔斯(Pelotas,RS)孕妇缺乏维生素 D 与抑郁症之间的关系。我们假设,被确诊患有注意力缺失症的孕妇体内缺乏 25- 羟维生素 D (25(OH)D):这项横断面研究是在一项队列研究(CEP/UCPEL 47807915.4.0000.5339)中进行的。从该队列中挑选了 180 名妊娠 24 周以内的孕妇(130 名非抑郁症孕妇和 50 名抑郁症孕妇),并使用 MINI-Plus 诊断抑郁症。采集并储存的血液用于日后通过化学发光法分析维生素 D (25(OH)D)。使用 SPSS 程序进行数据分析,并得出 pResults:我们的研究表明,产前重度抑郁发作与维生素 D 缺乏之间存在显著关联(OR:0.9;CI 95%:0.9;1.0,P=0.003):我们的研究结果表明,维生素 D 缺乏可能与产前重度抑郁症有关,因此建议在妊娠-产褥期对维生素 D 水平进行随访,以尽量减少妇女的心理健康问题,并预防儿童发育缺陷。
