Micronutrient status: impact on women’s reproductive health and pregnancy (Literature review)

Abstract

The article is a review of scientific publications that consider the impact of micronutrients on a woman’s reproductive health, fertility, pregnancy, and modern principles of vitamin and nutrient deficiency prevention. In the modern world, and especially in countries with a developing economy, the problem of the deficiency of certain micronutrients is particularly acute. According to the WHO, the number of people in the world who have encountered it in one form or another reaches 2 billion. Chronic deficiency of certain micronutrients has a significant negative impact on health, at the same time has no specific clinical manifestations, diagnosis is expensive for mass implementation, and treatment of pathological conditions resulting from micronutrient deficiency requires a significant amount of resources. That is why the development of optimal programs and recommendations for the prevention or correction of micronutrient deficiencies is the focus of attention of WHO and leading scientists.
