Black men exhibit a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency as well as a higher incidence of prostate cancer and higher mortality rates from prostate cancer than Whites. There are few data about the effect of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supplementation on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in healthy Black men.
During three winters from 2007 to 2010, 105 Black men (median age, 48.9 years) of Boston, MA were randomized into a four-arm, double-blind trial for 3 months of placebo, 1,000, 2,000, or 4,000 U of vitamin D3. At baseline and 3 months, free and total PSA was measured.
With vitamin D supplementation, no significant differences in free and total PSA were observed; free PSA, -0.0004 ng/mL (P = 0.94) and total PSA, -0.004 ng/mL (P = 0.92) for each additional 1,000 U/d of vitamin D3.
Within an unselected population of healthy Black men without a cancer diagnosis, we found no effect of vitamin D supplementation on free or total PSA.
These findings support prior findings of no change in PSA with vitamin D supplementation and emphasize the need for new methods to assess the influence of vitamin D supplementation on prostate cancer prevention.
黑人男性维生素D缺乏的患病率较高,前列腺癌的发病率和死亡率也高于白人。关于补充维生素D3(胆钙化醇)对健康黑人男性前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)的影响,相关数据较少。
在2007年至2010年的三个冬季,马萨诸塞州波士顿的105名黑人男性(中位年龄48.9岁)被随机分为四组,进行为期3个月的双盲试验,分别服用安慰剂、1000、2000或4000单位的维生素D3。在基线和3个月时,测量游离和总PSA。
补充维生素D后,游离和总PSA未观察到显著差异;每增加1000单位/天的维生素D3,游离PSA为-0.0004纳克/毫升(P = 0.94),总PSA为-0.004纳克/毫升(P = 0.92)。
在未选择的无癌症诊断的健康黑人男性人群中,我们发现补充维生素D对游离或总PSA没有影响。
这些发现支持了先前关于补充维生素D后PSA无变化的研究结果,并强调需要新的方法来评估补充维生素D对前列腺癌预防的影响。
