Abstract

Introduction: Micronutrient deficiency is one of the common problems in women of reproductive age. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the correlation between the depression with serum levels of vitamin D, calcium and magnesium in women of reproductive age.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study .In this study 100 women 15-44 years old with inclusion criteria of the study were called through an invitation in Urmia Motahari hospital in Iran. Demographic and obstetric information as well as the short form Beck Depression Inventory were completed, and then ten ml of venus blood was obtained from the subjects after about 12 hours of fasting. The data were analyzed, by SPSS software.Results: The mean of the depression score was 5.24, and the mean (SD) of the serum levels of vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium were 15.53 (13.41) (ng/ml), 9.14 (0.24) (mg/dL), and 2.07 (0.13) (mg/dl), respectively. Women's depression scores showed a significant inverse correlation with the serum level of vitamin D (r= -0.21, P= 0.03).Conclusion: It is recommended that interventional programs should be carried out for women of reproductive age to improve their vitamin D status.

Highlights

Micronutrient deficiency is one of the common problems in women of reproductive age
This review investigate the effect of vitamin D on depression it seems that it is necessary to investigate the relationship between the micronutrients and depression
Given the high importance of micronutrients, as well as the importance of women's fertility history and depression, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the correlation of some fertility factors and the depression score with the serum levels of vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium in women of reproductive age

Summary

Introduction

Micronutrient deficiency is one of the common problems in women of reproductive age. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the correlation between the depression with serum levels of vitamin D, calcium and magnesium in women of reproductive age. Reproductive age is of great importance due to its impact on a series of major changes and transitions in a woman’s life.[1] In addition, Iran is undergoing a nutritional transition This transition is faster in the Iranian women's population.[2] Vitamin D reduction is considered as a major health problem in the world.[3] In addition to the importance of vitamin D for calcium and phosphorus regulation, recent epidemiological studies have reported relationships between low levels of vitamin D and multiple diseases (such as heart disease, immune deficiency, and infectious diseases).[4]. Given the high importance of micronutrients, as well as the importance of women's fertility history and depression, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the correlation of some fertility factors and the depression score with the serum levels of vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium in women of reproductive age
