RESUMO
The aim of the present study was to assess maternal and newborn (umbilical blood) vitamin status in 220 mothers/newborns at birth from two public health centers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The proportion of low retinol levels (cut-off point 1.05 mumol/L) in the umbilical cord of newborns (55.4) was greater than found in their mothers (23.6). A highly significant correlation (X2 = 14.2; p < 0.0001) was found between the levels of retinol of mothers and newborns. The overall prevalence of low levels of retinol in the mother was 23.6whereas that of newborns was 55.4. Umbilical cord mean concentration less than 1.05 mumol/L was significantly lower (2.49 +/- 1.08 mumol/L) in mother with vitamin A deficiency (3.21 +/- 0.97 mumol/L; p < 0.0001). Low birth weight was associated with vitamin A deficiency (X2 = 6.86; p < 0.01). These data reinforce the need for close pre-natal attention in vitamin A status.
