Vitamin D insufficiency among the elderly Thai women in the urban areas was higher than in the rural areas because of lifestyle differences. There are very few studies about vitamin D status among Thai elderly males.
To ascertain the vitamin D status in and prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency among the elderly Thai males living in the urban areas of Khon Kaen province, situated in Northeast, Thailand.
The respective mean (SE) of calcidiol, beta-CTx and PINP level for the elderly Thai males were 42.04 (1.22), 0.26 (0.02) and 37.39 (2.19) ng/mL. A calcidiol level under 40 ng/mL indicated vitamin D insufficiency and the prevalence of the elderly Thai males living in urban area of Khon Kaen province, Thailand was 48%. The respective correlations between PTH and calcidiol, beta-CTx and PINP were -0.217, 0.640 and 0.393. The respective correlations between PTH and BMD of the trochanteric region and total femur were 0.198 and 0.199 (p < 0.05).
The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency among the elderly males in Khon Kaen remained high and the bone biochemical markers were at a low enough level to cause low bone turnover and low BMD.
由于生活方式的差异,泰国城市老年女性维生素D缺乏的情况比农村地区更为严重。关于泰国老年男性维生素D状况的研究非常少。
确定泰国东北部孔敬府城市地区老年男性的维生素D状况以及维生素D缺乏的患病率。
泰国老年男性骨化二醇、β-羧基端胶原交联(β-CTx)和I型前胶原氨基端前肽(PINP)水平的各自均值(标准误)分别为42.04(1.22)、0.26(0.02)和37.39(2.19)ng/mL。骨化二醇水平低于40 ng/mL表明维生素D缺乏,泰国孔敬府城市地区老年男性的患病率为48%。甲状旁腺激素(PTH)与骨化二醇、β-CTx和PINP之间的相关系数分别为-0.217、0.640和0.393。PTH与转子区和全股骨骨密度(BMD)之间的相关系数分别为0.198和0.199(p<0.05)。
孔敬府老年男性维生素D缺乏的患病率仍然很高,骨生化标志物水平低至足以导致低骨转换和低骨密度。
