Is there a seasonal variation in vitamin D levels and GDM risk?

Label:chem

Topic
Sunlight exposure varies by season, affecting vitamin D synthesis.
Answer
Parlea et al. (2012) and Lau et al. (2011) found that winter months were associated with lower 25(OH)D levels and higher GDM risk, while summer showed the opposite trend.
