Studies conducted over recent years show a connection between vitamin D and multiple sclerosis. Low levels of vitamin D increase the risk for multiple sclerosis, while proper levels offer protection from the illness. A new study offers evidence this protection may even begin in the womb when a mother drinks milk during her pregnancy.

The study, released on February 9, 2010, followed 35,794 nurses over a 16-year period. The mothers of these nurses were asked to complete a questionnaire about their experiences and dietary habits during their pregnancy.

By the end of the study, 199 nurses had developed multiple sclerosis (MS). Of interest to the researchers was the fact the nurses whose mothers had consumed high levels of vitamin D through milk or other dietary sources while pregnant had a lower risk of MS.

"The risk of MS among daughters whose mothers consumed four glasses of milk per day was 56 percent lower than daughters whose mothers consumed less than three glasses of milk per month," said Fariba Mirzaei, MD, with the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. "We also found the risk of MS among daughters whose mothers were in the top 20 percent of vitamin D intake during pregnancy was 45 percent lower than daughters whose mothers were in the bottom 20 percent for vitamin D intake during pregnancy."

"There is growing evidence that that vitamin D has an effect on MS. The results of this study suggest that this effect may begin in the womb," said Mirzaei.

Full information on this study will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 62nd Annual Meeting in Toronto in April of this year.

Dangers Of Drug And Alcohol Use During Pregnancy: Medics Ask For More Training

A new study has found that doctors and nurses believe they need more training and resources to help them talk to pregnant women about the dangers of alcohol and drug use.

Dr Trecia Wouldes of the University of Auckland, who conducted the study for Alcohol Healthwatch, says while most doctors and nurses surveyed said they believed women should abstain from alcohol and other drugs during pregnancy, many also indicated there were gaps in their knowledge.

For example, she says of the 241 health professionals surveyed, only 25 percent were able to correctly identify the four main criteria for a diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome. This is despite these criteria remaining unchanged for 35
years.
"Most of those surveyed indicated they would welcome further training on advising women about the dangers of alcohol and drug use during pregnancy. Many also said they would find it useful to have a standard set of questions about alcohol and drug use that they could go through with patients."
She said some health professionals indicated they may be less likely to question pregnant women about alcohol and drug use, and give advice, in particular circumstances.
"For example, they may not discuss alcohol and other drug use with women from a culture or economic background they perceived to be at low risk.
"More education from training institutions for current and future medical practitioners would help them feel more confident in dealing with alcohol and drug use issues.
"We know many women continue to drink alcohol and use other drugs during pregnancy and disorders from such exposure are at unacceptable levels across society. Health professionals are uniquely placed to prevent another generation
from unnecessary risk and it is important that their education be increased dramatically."
Rebecca Williams, Director of Alcohol Healthwatch, agrees, saying this is a sensitive issue, made worse by a critical knowledge gap.
"Previous studies have focused on what women do during pregnancy but little was known about the sort of advice they were receiving from their doctor or midwife. The findings from this study show we have a great opportunity to work
with health professionals."

Excess weight raises pregnancy risks: study - Reuters UK

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Being overweight or obese increases a woman's chances of having an extra-big baby, even after the effects of pregnancy-related, or "gestational," diabetes are taken into account, new research shows.

Excess weight in and of itself also sharply increased a woman's risk of pre-eclampsia, a potentially deadly pregnancy complication, Dr. Boyd E. Metzger of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago and his colleagues found.

Women have more difficulty delivering very large babies, while these newborns are also at risk of suffering injury during birth, including shoulder dislocation. While women who are overweight or obese are known to run a greater risk of having very large babies and experiencing other pregnancy complications, it has been difficult to separate out the effects of a mother's weight from those of gestational diabetes, Metzger and his colleagues note in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

This led them to investigate whether body mass index (BMI) -- a standard measure of weight in relation to height used to gauge how fat or thin a person is -- might influence pregnancy risks and fetal and newborn health, independently of a woman's blood sugar levels.

The study involved 23,316 women from 15 different medical centers in nine different countries. All had undergone an oral glucose tolerance test, which is used to identify women with, or at risk for, pregnancy-related diabetes; at that time, their height and weight were measured, too.

The researchers then used statistical techniques to control for women's oral glucose tolerance test results. Even after this adjustment, they found that the women with BMIs of 42 or greater, denoting severe obesity (for example, a 5-foot-5-inch tall woman weighing at least 250 pounds), were at more than triple the risk of having an excessively large baby, compared to the thinnest women in the study, who had BMIs of 22.6 or less (a 5'5" woman weighing less than 138 pounds).

The heaviest women's risks of having a C-section were more than doubled, while their likelihood of pre-eclampsia was 14-fold greater than for the leanest women. However, the heaviest women's risk for delivering a preterm baby was actually cut in half.

These findings help sort out the role BMI and gestational diabetes each play in the risk of complications of pregnancy and delivery, Metzger told Reuters Health in an interview. Continued...
