Vitamin -D -Spiegel während der Schwangerschaft wirken sich auf das spätere Lernen von Kindern aus – eine neue Studie hat ergeben, dass ein höherer Vitamin -D -Spiegel während der Schwangerschaft mit besseren Werten für kognitive Tests bei Kindern im Alter von sieben bis 12 Jahren in Verbindung gebracht wurde.

I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

From the linked article:

**Vitamin D levels during pregnancy impact children’s later learning**

Higher vitamin D in pregnancy could mean sharper minds for kids years later. A large US study found early pregnancy may be the key window for boosting brain development, especially in children of Black mothers.

Now, a new study by the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort, a research program supported by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), which includes researchers from institutes across the country, **has found that higher vitamin D levels during pregnancy were linked to better scores on cognitive tests in children aged seven to 12.**
