Interest in the health benefits of vitamin D continues to increase and is at the forefront of much research and debate. Insufficient vitamin D levels have been linked in epidemiologic studies to decreased physical performance, cardiac health, autoimmune disease, neurologic disorders, colorectal and breast cancers, and total mortality. Consequently, health authorities are reviewing the most recent available data and updated recommendations on optimal vitamin D levels are pending. Daily intake of 1000 international units (IU) of vitamin D for adults and 400 IU of vitamin D for children may be appropriate for patients protecting their skin from UV radiation and can be safely obtained from diet and/or dietary supplementation. Patients should be counseled on sun protection regimens to prevent unprotected sun exposure and discouraged from using artificial tanning devices. As available information on vitamin D and its associated health benefits evolves, and as new evidence emerges, updated recommendations are sure to follow.
人们对维生素 D 健康益处的兴趣持续增加,它是许多研究和争论的前沿。在流行病学研究中,维生素 D 水平不足与身体机能下降、心脏健康、自身免疫性疾病、神经紊乱、结直肠癌和乳腺癌以及总死亡率有关。因此,卫生当局正在审查最新的可用数据,关于最佳维生素 D 水平的更新建议正在等待中。对于保护皮肤免受紫外线辐射的患者,成年人每天摄入 1000 国际单位(IU)的维生素 D 和儿童每天摄入 400 IU 的维生素 D 可能是合适的,并且可以安全地从饮食和/或膳食补充剂中获得。应向患者提供有关防晒方案的咨询,以防止无保护的阳光照射,并劝阻他们使用人工晒黑设备。随着有关维生素 D 及其相关健康益处的信息不断发展,以及新证据的出现,更新的建议肯定会随之而来。
