Fig 1. Scatter plot showing the relationship between maternal intact parathyroid hormone and 25-hydroxyvitamin D level.
The maternal plasma level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]showed a weakly negative correlation with the maternal plasma level of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), n = 147. Linear regression equation: iPTH = –0.0193[25(OH)D] + 4.3884. (Pearson’s r = –0.29, P<0.01)
