This study aimed to determine the retinol and betacarotene status in mother-infant dyads, and to evaluate the associations between them. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Umbilical cord serum, maternal serum, and colostrum were collected from 134 healthy mothers living in a risk region for VAD. Vitamin A and betacarotene were quantified by liquid chromatography, and dietary information was collected using a food frequency questionnaire. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Although the overall mean intakes of vitamin A and betacarotene were considered adequate, 16% of the women had insufficient intake. Mean retinol levels were also adequate, yet low levels were diagnosed in about 8% of the mothers, based on maternal serum and colostrum, and in 16% of the cord serum samples. Retinol and betacarotene were positively associated in cord serum (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;\u00a0= 0.004), maternal serum (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;\u00a0= 0.041), and colostrum (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;\u00a0&amp;#x3c; 0.001) but was not associated with dietary intake. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; A diagnosis of adequacy based on mean biochemical and dietary data of this population in fact masks the marginal vitamin A status presented by mothers and children.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000485042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,21]],"date-time":"2017-12-21T22:10:13Z","timestamp":1513894213000},"page":"50-56","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Retinol and Betacarotene Status in Mother-Infant Dyads and Associations between Them"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"72","author":[{"given":"Larissa\u00a0Q.","family":"Lira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aline\u00a0F.","family":"de\u00a0Souza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amanda\u00a0de\u00a0M.","family":"Am\u00e2ncio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caroline\u00a0G.","family":"Bezerra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J\u00e9ssica\u00a0B.","family":"Pimentel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Melissa\u00a0N.","family":"Moia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Dimenstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,21]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref1","DOI":"10.3945\/ajcn.112.034868"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref2","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(15)00039-X"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref3","DOI":"10.3305\/nh.2015.32.2.9045"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref4","DOI":"10.3758\/BF03193146"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref5","DOI":"10.1016\/S0955-2863(97)00132-0"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref6","DOI":"10.1096\/fj.10-175448"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref7","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-277X.2009.01026.x"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref8","DOI":"10.3945\/ajcn.113.058180"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref9","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nut.2014.10.009"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref10","DOI":"10.1079\/BJN20051718"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref11","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nutres.2005.03.003"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref12","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0396.1990.tb00119.x"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref13","DOI":"10.1007\/s00394-007-1001-z"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref14","DOI":"10.1007\/s00394-004-0439-5"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref15","DOI":"10.1159\/000046711"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref16","DOI":"10.1203\/00006450-200010000-00024"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref17","DOI":"10.1007\/s00394-006-0624-9"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref18","DOI":"10.1007\/s00394-003-0403-9"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref19","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.M111.253070"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref20","DOI":"10.3945\/jn.112.162677"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref21","DOI":"10.3390\/nu5124849"}],"container-title":["Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/485042","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/485042","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T16:21:15Z","timestamp":1745425275000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000485042"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,21]]},"references-count":21,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,22]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,15]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000485042","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0250-6807","1421-9697"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0250-6807"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1421-9697"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,21]]}}}
