Pregnant women concerns
Print Edition
ALMOST half the pregnant women in Shanghai don’t have enough iodine, an element vital for the development of a fetus, researchers have found.
The study of 1,000 women by the Ministry of Education Shanghai Key Laboratory of Children’s Environmental Health also revealed that 84 percent of pregnant women don’t have sufficient vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to pregnancy complications such as diabetes, hypertension and premature delivery and allergies in babies. The study found that 48 percent of women in early pregnancy had insufficient levels of iodine. Women require more iodine during pregnancy.
