IAT in neonates includes VAT, which is the fat around the organs, intermuscular fat, paravertebral, and intra-spinal fat (Fig. 1). However, amount of VAT is minimal compared to other types of fat within abdominal region in neonates [18]. Therefore, the presence of IAT in neonates might not reflect metabolically active visceral adiposity, as it does in adults. Our findings of increased dSAT in the neonates of mothers with 25(OH)D inadequacy suggest a potential role for maternal 25(OH)D in the offspring’s susceptibility to metabolic diseases later in life.
