BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Dutch athletes and to define the required dosage of vitamin D3 supplementation to prevent vitamin D deficiency over the course of a year.
SUBJECTS/METHODS: Blood samples were collected from 128 highly trained athletes to assess total 25(OH)D concentration. Of these 128 athletes, 54 male and 48 female athletes (18-32 years) were included in a randomized, double blind, dose-response study. Athletes with either a deficient (<50 nmol/l) or an insufficient (50-75 nmol/l) 25(OH)D concentration were randomly assigned to take 400, 1100 or 2200 IU vitamin D3 per day orally for 1 year. Athletes who had a total 25(OH)D concentration above 75 nmol/l at baseline continued with the study protocol without receiving vitamin D supplements. Serum total 25(OH)D concentration was assessed every 3 months, as well as dietary vitamin D intake and sunlight exposure.
Nearly 70% of all athletes showed an insufficient (50-75 nmol/l) or a deficient (<50 nmol/l) 25(OH)D concentration at baseline. After 12 months, serum 25(OH)D concentration had increased more in the 2200 IU/day group (+50±27 nmol/l) than the sufficient group receiving no supplements (+4±17 nmol/l; P<0.01) and the 1100 IU/day group (+25±23 nmol/l; P<0.05). Supplementation with 2200 IU/day vitamin D resulted in a sufficient 25(OH)D concentration in 80% of the athletes after 12 months.
Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in athletes. Athletes with a deficient or an insufficient 25(OH)D concentration can achieve a sufficient 25(OH)D concentration within 3 months by taking 2200 IU/day.
背景/目的:评估荷兰运动员维生素D缺乏症的患病率,并确定维生素D3补充剂预防一年内维生素D缺乏所需的剂量。
受试者/方法:采集128名高水平运动员的血样,以评估血清总25(OH)D浓度。在这128名运动员中,54名男性和48名女性运动员(18 - 32岁)被纳入一项随机、双盲、剂量反应研究。25(OH)D浓度低于50nmol/l(缺乏)或50 - 75nmol/l(不足)的运动员被随机分配,每天口服400、1100或2200IU维生素D3,持续1年。基线时血清总25(OH)D浓度高于75nmol/l的运动员继续遵循研究方案,不接受维生素D补充剂。每3个月评估一次血清总25(OH)D浓度,以及膳食维生素D摄入量和阳光照射情况。
几乎70%的运动员在基线时25(OH)D浓度不足(50 - 75nmol/l)或缺乏(<50nmol/l)。12个月后,2200IU/天组的血清25(OH)D浓度升高幅度(+50±27nmol/l)大于未补充组(+4±17nmol/l;P<0.01)和1100IU/天组(+25±23nmol/l;P<0.05)。补充2200IU/天的维生素D后,12个月时80%的运动员25(OH)D浓度充足。
维生素D缺乏在运动员中非常普遍。25(OH)D浓度缺乏或不足的运动员通过每天服用2200IU维生素D,可在3个月内使25(OH)D浓度达到充足水平。
