ABSTRACT Background: Western diets may provide excess vitamin A, which is potentially toxic and could adversely affect respiratory health and counteract benefits from vitamin D. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine child asthma at age 7 y in relation to maternal intake of

vitamins A and D during preg- nancy, infant supplementation with these vitamins, and their potential interaction. Design: We studied 61,676 school-age children (born during 2002– 2007) from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort with data on maternal total (food and supplement)

nutrient intake in pregnancy (food-frequency questionnaire validated against biomarkers) and in- fant supplement use at age 6 mo (n = 54,142 children).

 

Linkage with the Norwegian Prescription Database enabled near-complete follow- up (end of second quarter in 2015) for dispensed medications to clas- sify asthma. We used log-binomial regression to calculate adjusted RRs (aRRs) for asthma with 95% CIs. Results: Asthma increased

according to maternal intake of to- tal vitamin A [retinol activity equivalents (RAEs)] in the highest (≥2031 RAEs/d) compared with the lowest (≤779 RAEs/d) quin- tile (aRR: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.05, 1.40) and decreased for total vitamin D in the highest (≥13.6 µg/d) compared with the lowest

(≤3.5 µg/d) quintile (aRR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.67, 0.97) during pregnancy.

 

No as- sociation was observed for maternal intake in the highest quintiles of both nutrients (aRR: 0.99; 95% CI: 0.83, 1.18) and infant supple- mentation with vitamin D or cod liver oil. Conclusions: Excess vitamin A (≥2.5 times the recommended in- take) during pregnancy was associated

with increased risk, whereas vitamin D intake close to recommendations was associated with a re- duced risk of asthma in school-age children. No association for high intakes of both nutrients suggests antagonistic effects of vitamins A and D. This trial was registered at

http://www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03197233. Am J Clin Nutr 2018; 107:789–798.

INTRODUCTION

 

Asthma is currently among the top 5 chronic conditions con- tributing to the global burden of disease in children aged 5–14 y (1). Unfavorable changes in diet have been hypothesized to in- crease the susceptibility to asthma (2) and dietary exposures in utero and infancy could play a

role, in particular for childhood onset of the disease (3).

 

Fat-soluble vitamins have a broad range of effects related to antioxidant properties (4), immune function (5), and lung devel- opment (6). In particular, vitamin D has attracted much interest because of widespread deficiency in Western populations (7).

 

The Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study is supported by the Norwe- gian Ministry of Health and Care Services and the Ministry of Education and Research, NIH/National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (contract no. N01-ES-75558), and NIH/National Institute of

 

Neurological Disorders and Stroke (grant nos. 1 UO1 NS 047537-01 and 2 UO1 NS 047537-06A1). This work was also supported by the Norwegian Research Council (grant no. 221097; to WN) and by the Intramural Research Program of the NIH, Na- tional Institute of Environmental

Health Sciences (ZO1 ES49019; to SJL). The funders of the study had no role in study design, data collection, data
