In a mother\u2013offspring cohort in Singapore, maternal plasma vitamin D was measured between 26 and 28 weeks of gestation, and anthropometric measurements were obtained from singleton offspring during the first 2 years of life with 3-month follow-up intervals to examine birth, growth and adiposity outcomes. Associations were analysed using multivariable linear regression. Of a total of 910 mothers, 13\u00b72 % were vitamin D deficient (&lt;50 nmol\/l) and 26\u00b75 % were insufficient (50\u201375 nmol\/l). After adjustment for potential confounders and multiple testing, no statistically significant associations were observed between maternal vitamin D status and any of the birth outcomes \u2013 small for gestational age (OR 1\u00b700; 95 % CI 0\u00b756, 1\u00b779) and pre-term birth (OR 1\u00b716; 95 % CI 0\u00b764, 2\u00b711) \u2013 growth outcomes \u2013 weight-for-age <jats:italic>z<\/jats:italic>-scores, length-for-age <jats:italic>z<\/jats:italic>-scores, circumferences of the head, abdomen and mid-arm at birth or postnatally \u2013 and adiposity outcomes \u2013 BMI, and skinfold thickness (triceps, biceps and subscapular) at birth or postnatally. Maternal vitamin D status in pregnancy did not influence infant birth outcomes, postnatal growth and adiposity outcomes in this cohort, perhaps due to the low prevalence (1\u00b76 % of the cohort) of severe maternal vitamin D deficiency (defined as of &lt;30\u00b70 nmol\/l) in our population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007114516000623","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,24]],"date-time":"2016-06-24T01:31:13Z","timestamp":1466731873000},"page":"621-631","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["The association of maternal vitamin D status with infant birth outcomes, postnatal growth and adiposity in the first 2 years of life in a multi-ethnic Asian population: the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) cohort study"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"116","author":[{"given":"Yi Lin","family":"Ong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Phaik Ling","family":"Quah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mya Thway","family":"Tint","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Izzuddin M.","family":"Aris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ling Wei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rob M.","family":"van Dam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Denise","family":"Heppe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seang-Mei","family":"Saw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keith M.","family":"Godfrey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter D.","family":"Gluckman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yap Seng","family":"Chong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fabian","family":"Yap","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yung Seng","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"Foong-Fong Chong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0007114516000623_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1368980012003084"},{"key":"S0007114516000623_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2011.03.022"},{"key":"S0007114516000623_ref35","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.73.1.8"},{"key":"S0007114516000623_ref29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0007114510000747"},{"key":"S0007114516000623_ref22","unstructured":"Goh SK (2011) Birthweight percentiles by gestational age and maternal factors that affect birthweight in Singapore.
