We aimed to assess the possible relationship between vitamin D deficiency and gross motor developmental milestones in Iranian children in Tehran City, Iran.
MATERIALS & METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 186 healthy children of one-yr-old age referring to a children hospital in Tehran, Iran from May 2015 to April 2016, were enrolled. The gross motor developmental milestone of children and their serum vitamin D concentration were evaluated.
Overall, 186 children, 92 males (49.5%) were studied. Twenty-four patients (12.9%) just were able to sit without support, and 40 patients (21.5%) to stand alone and to sit without support. Besides, 122 patients (65.6%) were able to walk with assistant or alone and to sit without support and stand alone. Vitamin D was sufficient in 148 children (79.6%), insufficient in 32 (17.2%) and deficient in 6 (3.2%). Sufficient vitamin D was significantly correlated with walking ability (<0.001, OR=3.9, 95%CI=1.9-8.4).
Considering the significant correlation between vitamin D deficiency and gross motor developmental milestones in this population of children, children referring to gross motor developmental delay need to be thoroughly evaluated for vitamin D deficiency.
我们旨在评估伊朗德黑兰市儿童维生素D缺乏与大运动发育里程碑之间的可能关系。
在这项横断面研究中，纳入了2015年5月至2016年4月期间前往伊朗德黑兰一家儿童医院就诊的186名一岁健康儿童。评估了儿童的大运动发育里程碑及其血清维生素D浓度。
总体而言，共研究了186名儿童，其中92名男性（49.5%）。24名患者（12.9%）仅能在无支撑的情况下坐立，40名患者（21.5%）能独自站立且在无支撑的情况下坐立。此外，122名患者（65.6%）能够在他人协助下或独自行走，且在无支撑的情况下坐立和独自站立。148名儿童（79.6%）维生素D充足，32名（17.2%）不足，6名（3.2%）缺乏。维生素D充足与行走能力显著相关（<0.001，OR=3.9，95%CI=1.9-8.4）。
鉴于该儿童群体中维生素D缺乏与大运动发育里程碑之间存在显著相关性，对于存在大运动发育迟缓的儿童，需要对维生素D缺乏进行全面评估。
