Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes. <strong>Objectives:</strong> This bibliometric analysis aims to provide a better understanding of research trends and contributions of researchers on this topic, as well as to identify areas of research that need further exploration. <strong>Methods:</strong> This study on vitamin D deficiency among pregnant women in tropical countries used the Scopus database as of July 28, 2024. Articles were then filtered based on inclusion criteria, which consisted of original English language and open access articles. Of 19 articles, 15 met the inclusion criteria. The publication results were analyzed using VOS viewer. <strong>Results</strong>: The query in the Scopus database showed a total of 15 publications from 2015 to 2024. Publications peaked in 2019. Indonesia had the most publications. All authors had affiliations with different institutions, so there was no significant difference between one institution and another. PLOS One and Nutrients were the top two journal sources. Most of the documents were research articles. Medicine was the most common subject of these documents. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> This bibliometric analysis highlights the importance of identifying and managing vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women in tropical countries. The high prevalence and serious impact on maternal and fetal health indicate the need for further research in the treatment and prevention of vitamin D deficiency.</p>2025-10-13T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Malaysian Journal of Medical Research (MJMR)
