To investigate the association between vitamin D deficiency and depressive symptoms in a national community sample of older people. Vitamin D deficiency is common in older people with potential effects on mood.
Data were analyzed from 2070 participants aged ≥65 years who had participated in the 2005 Health Survey for England. Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels and depressive symptoms (Geriatric Depression Scale) had been measured. Covariates included age, sex, social class, season of examination, and physical health status.
Depressive symptoms were associated with clinical vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D levels <10 ng/mL; present in 9.8%) independent of other covariates but not with broader deficiency states. This association was not modified by season of examination.
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with late-life depression in northern latitudes.
在一个全国性的老年人社区样本中,调查维生素 D 缺乏与抑郁症状之间的关联。维生素 D 缺乏在老年人中很常见,可能对情绪产生影响。
对参加了 2005 年英格兰健康调查的 2070 名年龄≥65 岁的参与者进行了数据分析。测量了血清 25-羟维生素 D(25(OH)D)水平和抑郁症状(老年抑郁量表)。协变量包括年龄、性别、社会阶层、检查季节和身体健康状况。
抑郁症状与临床维生素 D 缺乏(25(OH)D 水平<10ng/mL;存在于 9.8%的患者中)相关,与其他协变量无关,但与更广泛的缺乏状态无关。这种关联不受检查季节的影响。
在高纬度地区,维生素 D 缺乏与晚年抑郁有关。
