VITAMIN D MAY PROTECT UNBORN BABIES
FROM CHILDHOOD HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

Children born with the low vitamin D levels are more likely to have high blood
pressure if their mothers had preeclampsia, a Johns Hopkins University study
finds.
October 8, 2020
Children born to women with preeclampsia – high blood pressure during
pregnancy – have a greater risk of developing high blood pressure. But prenatal
exposure to vitamin D may help reduce that risk. Children born with relatively
high levels of vitamin D were less likely to have high blood pressure even if
their mother had preeclampsia, according to a new study.
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University found that higher levels of vitamin
D may have a protective effect. This is an important finding, because high blood
pressure in childhood often leads to hypertension and heart disease in
adulthood, they said. Vitamin D deficiency also is a risk factor for developing
hypertension as an adult.
