dc.description.abstract Increasing epidemiologic evidence indicates that vitamin D deficiency is linked to a series of diseases, including cardiovascular disease. This prospective study was designed to determine the relationship between 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level and aortic intima-media thickness (aIMT) and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in term healthy neonates. A total of 135 term, healthy infants were included in the study. Ultrasonographic measurements were performed at 24-48h after birth. Blood samples were obtained from the umbilical cord at birth. The neonates were divided into four groups according to serum 25(OH)D vitamin levels. For the entire cohort, the mean 25 hydroxyvitamin D level was found to be 15.179.66ng/mL. The mean values of cIMT and aIMT measurements were 0.386 +/- 0.052 and 0.412 +/- 0.076mm, respectively. In group 4, mean and maximum aIMT measurements were significantly lower than the other groups (p=<0.001 and 0.001, respectively). We did not observe any significant difference between groups regarding cIMT measurements. Correlation was found between aIMT and 25 hydroxyvitamin D levels (r=0.295 p=<0.001).Conclusion: We conclude that vitamin D deficiency may be associated with early relative intima-media thickening of the aorta already in the first week of life. en_US
