Abstract: Vitamin D(VD)is a fat-soluble vitamin closely related to bone health and calcium and phosphorus metabolism.VD deficiency in humans has become a global public health problem,especially in pregnant women as it affects maternal health and fetal growth,develo-pment,and susceptibility to many diseases.Recent studies have shown that adequate cord blood VD levels are associated with a reduced incidence of eczema in infants aged<1 year.With the increasing annual incidence of eczema in infants,its association with VD nutritional status has begun to receive attention.However,few epidemiological studies have investigated the association between VD levels during pregnancy and infantile eczema,and the results have been inconsistent.Therefore,this study reviews the association between VD nutri-tional status during pregnancy and infantile eczema,which may provide a theoretical basis for further exploring the role of VD nutritional status in the development of infantile eczema and taking targeted preventive and curative measures.
