Aim: The current study aims in assessing the levels of Zinc, vitamin D, and nutrient intake among GDM women. Methods: Hospital-based case-control study with n=60 subjects grouped into cases (n=30, women diagnosed with GDM) and control (n=30, healthy pregnant women) were recruited for the study. Vitamin D and Zinc were analyzed, anthropometric measurements and dietary data were obtained. Frequency and percent were calculated for descriptive data. ANOVA was applied to compare the nutrient intake among the groups and Pearson correlation to study the correlation between vitamin D and zinc. Results: The levels of vitamin D (32.782 ±2.56 ng/ml and 34.754 ±5.13 ng/ml) and Zinc (70.62±17.9 µg/dL and 78.56±6.82 µg/dL) was found to be at lower end, among cases. Significant positive correlation was observed for vitamin D and Zinc. Significant difference was observed for energy, protein, vitamin D, zinc, iron, and vitamin E compared to RDA. Conclusion: Creating awareness on the importance of each nutrient and addressing the consequences of nutrient deficiencies among reproductive-age and gravid women is crucial in promoting healthy pregnancies and optimal maternal-fetal outcomes. By providing personalized nutritional counseling and emphasizing the significance of proper nutrition, women may be empowered to make informed choices and prioritize their well-being, ultimately contributing to healthier generations to come.
