To investigate influences of physical mobility and season on 25-hydroxyvitamin D-intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) interaction in the elderly.
We examined 188 frail institutionalized elderly at the expected nadir of their serum vitamin D concentrations (winter). This group was compared with 309 healthy ambulatory elderly at the expected time of maximum vitamin D repletion (summer), to accentuate the influences of season and physical activity.
Serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, iPTH and urinary deoxypyridinoline (DPD) were measured.
Vitamin D metabolites were significantly lower in the institutionalized elderly (P<0.0001), with an 82.5% prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (25-hydroxyvitamin D <12ng/ml) in institutionalized elderly in wintertime and 15.5% in ambulatory elderly in summertime. Overall, median iPTH did not differ between groups. However, median iPTH secretion in the presence of low vitamin D serum concentrations (5-30ng/ml) was greater in ambulatory elderly. This could be explained by lower mobility status being correlated with greater serum calcium concentrations (r=0.24, P=0.02 in women; r=0.35, P=0. 001 in men) and greater urinary excretion of DPD (r=0.41, P=0.0001 in women; r=0.42, P=0.0002 in men), independent of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and iPTH.
These data support the hypothesis that immobility, even in the presence of vitamin D deficiency, acts as an overriding influence on bone metabolism by promoting bone resorption (measured as urinary DPD) and increasing serum calcium independent of iPTH. Therefore mobility status may substantially affect 25-hydroxyvitamin D threshold values and the degree to which patients benefit from vitamin supplementation.
探讨身体活动能力和季节对老年人25-羟维生素D-完整甲状旁腺激素(iPTH)相互作用的影响。
我们在血清维生素D浓度预计最低值时(冬季)检查了188名身体虚弱的机构养老老年人。将该组与309名健康的能自主活动老年人在维生素D补充达到预期最大值时(夏季)进行比较,以突出季节和身体活动的影响。
测量血清25-羟维生素D、1,25-二羟维生素D、iPTH和尿脱氧吡啶啉(DPD)的浓度。
机构养老老年人的维生素D代谢产物显著较低(P<0.0001),冬季机构养老老年人维生素D缺乏(25-羟维生素D<12ng/ml)的患病率为82.5%,夏季能自主活动老年人为15.5%。总体而言,两组间iPTH中位数无差异。然而,血清维生素D浓度较低(5-30ng/ml)时,能自主活动老年人的iPTH分泌中位数更高。这可以解释为活动能力较低与血清钙浓度较高相关(女性r=0.24,P=0.02;男性r=0.35,P=0.001)以及DPD尿排泄量增加(女性r=0.41,P=0.0001;男性r=0.42,P=0.0002),且与25-羟维生素D、1,25-二羟维生素D和iPTH无关。
这些数据支持以下假设,即即使存在维生素D缺乏,活动能力不足也会通过促进骨吸收(以尿DPD衡量)和增加血清钙而独立于iPTH对骨代谢产生首要影响。因此,活动状态可能会显著影响25-羟维生素D阈值以及患者从维生素补充中获益的程度。
