It is possible that other factors play a role in this association, as depression can have multiple causes. Recognizing the significance of the husband\u2019s participation in antenatal care, this study aimed to examine whether the husband\u2019s involvement moderates the link between the mother\u2019s vitamin D status and depressive symptoms during pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2045796025000022_sec2b\">\n\t    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>A total of 2983 Chinese married pregnant women, in their 25\u201335\u00a0weeks of pregnancy, completed questionnaires to assess their levels of depressive symptoms and the involvement of their husbands in their antenatal care appointments. Additionally, their serum levels of vitamin D were measured.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2045796025000022_sec3c\">\n\t    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>After adjusting for maternal age, parity, and socio-economic status, the husband\u2019s involvement in antenatal care moderated the association between maternal vitamin D status and depressive symptoms during pregnancy (\u03b2\u00a0=\u00a02.03, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.035). Specifically, when their husbands were not regularly present for antenatal care appointments, mothers with suboptimal vitamin D levels experienced more depressive symptoms than those with optimal levels. However, there were no noticeable differences in depressive symptoms between vitamin D groups for mothers whose husbands attended all antenatal care appointments.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2045796025000022_sec4d\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Pregnant women who have suboptimal vitamin D levels and lack support from their spouses are most vulnerable to experiencing depression.
