Background: Vitamin D deficiency was associated with the pathogenesis of several chronic disorders of human beings. An increasing number of studies were correlating the role of vitamin D deficiency and feto maternal outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among the pregnant women working in software offices and its impact on the fetal and maternal outcome. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in 150 pregnant women attending Feminawomens hospital Hyderabad,for a period of 6 months from October 2015 to April 2016. The aim was to study the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women working in software offices. The women were given a questionnaire consisting of data regarding occupation, obstetric history,lifestyle ,dietary habits ,working hours. Serum 25hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) level was measured using an enzyme immunoassay method. Data on gestational age ,mode of delivery ,baby sex ,weight of baby were studied. Results: Mean age of the study population was 27.4?3.1 years in soft ware group and 28.2?2.9 years in non soft ware group. Over all the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 56% and severe deficiency was observed in 16%s among pregnant women in this study. The vitamin D serum levels were significantly lower in the soft ware group (p=0.03) and severe deficiency was also more common in the soft ware group (p=0.04) . There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups with respect to the total number of maternal and fetal complications. Conclusion: Vitamin D concentrations were observed to be low in Soft ware pregnant women when compared with non soft ware pregnant women without any significant differences in feto maternal outcomes.
