Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentrations are lower in Pacific people compared to Caucasians living in New Zealand. However, there are no data on the 25OHD concentrations of Pacific people living in the Pacific Islands.
To assess the vitamin D status of indigenous and Indian Fijian women living in Fiji by measuring 25OHD concentrations.
25OHD concentrations in a national sample of 511 Fijian women (15-44 y).
The mean 25OHD concentration of Fijian women was 76 nmol/L (95% CI: 73, 78). 25OHD was lower in Fijian Indian [70 (66, 74) nmol/L; n=205] women compared to indigenous Fijians [80 (76, 84) nmol/L; n=306] (p<0.0001). The mean 25OHD was higher in rural [77 (74, 80) nmol/L; n=392] than urban [70 (65, 76) nmol/L; n=119] women (p<0.0001). Body mass index (BMI) and age were not predictors of 25OHD concentrations. Of Fijian females, 3%, 11%, and 56% had 25OHD concentrations indicative of 25OHD insufficiency using cut-offs of < or =37.5, < or =50 and < or =80 nmol/L, respectively.
Mean 25OHD in Fijian women was generally adequate and exceed concentrations reported in Pacific females living in New Zealand.
与生活在新西兰的高加索人相比,太平洋岛民的血清25-羟维生素D(25OHD)浓度较低。然而,关于生活在太平洋岛屿的太平洋岛民的25OHD浓度尚无数据。
通过测量25OHD浓度来评估生活在斐济的斐济原住民和印度裔斐济女性中的维生素D状况。
对511名斐济女性(15 - 44岁)的全国样本进行25OHD浓度检测。
斐济女性的平均25OHD浓度为76 nmol/L(95%可信区间:73, 78)。与斐济原住民女性[80(76, 84)nmol/L;n = 306]相比,印度裔斐济女性[70(66, 74)nmol/L;n = 205]的25OHD浓度较低(p < 0.0001)。农村女性[77(74, 80)nmol/L;n = 392]的平均25OHD浓度高于城市女性[70(65, 76)nmol/L;n = 119](p < 0.0001)。体重指数(BMI)和年龄不是25OHD浓度的预测因素。分别采用<或=37.5、<或=50和<或=80 nmol/L的临界值时,3%、11%和56%的斐济女性的25OHD浓度表明存在25OHD不足。
斐济女性的平均血清25OHD浓度总体上充足,且超过了生活在新西兰的太平洋岛民女性的报告浓度。
