Low levels of Vitamin D has a role in progression of hypertension in Pregnant Women, shows study

A new study by scientists at Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI) and Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (CSIR-IICT), has found a link between lower vitamin D levels and prevalence of hypertension in pregnant women. The research, building upon previous studies that showed a correlation between low levels of vitamin D and hypertension, has focused to see if this relationship holds true in pregnant women who are at a high risk of developing hypertension. The observations and clinical trials confirm that vitamin D deficiency may contribute to the development of hypertensive disorders in pregnant women. It’s probably time for a sun bath!
