Vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia. However, the association between serum vitamin D and blood pressure in pregnant women has been scarcely evaluated, particularly in women with a high risk of developing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. We sought to evaluate the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and blood pressure in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
