Conclusion
Our data demonstrated a clinically important reduction in offspring risk of atopic eczema in infancy following maternal cholecalciferol supplementation during pregnancy. The findings support a developmental influence on infantile atopic eczema and point to gestational cholecalciferol supplementation as a preventive strategy to reduce the burden of atopic eczema during infancy.
