Table 1
Descriptive information for 25(OH)D levels in the 241 maternal-child pairs. Values are given in ng/mL
.
| | Mean | SD | Median | Minimum | Maximum | Number below lowest detectable limit |
| Prenatal | 23.6 | 11.9 | 22.7 | 2.5 | 64.9 | 4.98% | Cord blood | 10.9 | 7.4 | 10.5 | 2.5 | 47.5 | 24.9% | Child is Black () | | | | | | | Prenatal | 20.1 | 10.3 | 19.8 | 2.5 | 49.9 | 6.9% | Cord blood | 9.1 | 6.6 | 8.5 | 2.5 | 47.5 | 30.2% | Child is White () | | | | | | | Prenatal | 32.9 | 10.8 | 34.1 | 13.1 | 64.9 | 0 | Cord blood | 15.6 | 7.2 | 15.6 | 2.5 | 28.7 | 10.6% |

2.5 ng/mL is assigned when the 25(OH)D value is less than the lowest detectable value of 5 ng/mL.
