Research links greater gestational vitaminD in blood with reduced childhood behavioral issues UDelaware
If you work indoors, live in the north, avoid the sun, are lactose intolerant, vegan, elderly or darker skinned, chances are you may be deficient in vitamin D. It's a common problem affecting as many as 25% of Americans, according toVitamin D is listed as a nutrient of concern in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines.
Melough wanted to study behavior in both age groups to determine if the possible effects of gestational vitamin D are still seen in older children whose social behavior has been shaped by many other factors over time. "If you boosted vitamin D status by 10 ng/mL, our study suggested you may see an increase in a child's IQ of at least one point," she said."An IQ change of just that much could relate to long-term success, academic performance, and income earnings."
Annual routine lab tests don't often measure vitamin D levels, so most Americans have no idea they're potentially deficient. The average American diet, on its own, also won't likely raise vitamin D to acceptable levels. High-dose supplements are usually needed to raise levels.
