To investigate the associations between serum vitamin D, calcium and uterine fibroids in a Chinese female population.
In this case-control study, adult female patients with fibroids (cases) were compared with females without fibroids (controls) in terms of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and calcium levels.
Out of 546 total participants (mean age, 41.68 ± 5.99 years; 279 with fibroids and 267 without fibroids), only 232 had serum 25OHD levels above the sufficient threshold (>20 ng/ml). In addition, females with fibroids had lower serum 25OHD levels versus those without fibroids. The prevalence of fibroids in females with deficient (<12 ng/ml) and insufficient (12-20 ng/ml) 25OHD levels were significantly higher than in females with sufficient (>20 ng/ml) 25OHD levels. Serum calcium levels were within normal range in both groups.
Hypovitaminosis D was highly prevalent among a population of Chinese females of reproductive-age, and serum 25OHD levels were lower in female patients with fibroids.
在中国女性人群中研究血清维生素 D、钙与子宫肌瘤之间的关系。
在这项病例对照研究中,将患有子宫肌瘤的成年女性患者(病例)与无子宫肌瘤的女性(对照)进行比较,比较内容为血清 25-羟维生素 D(25OHD)和钙水平。
在 546 名总参与者(平均年龄 41.68±5.99 岁;279 名患有子宫肌瘤,267 名无子宫肌瘤)中,仅有 232 人的血清 25OHD 水平超过充足阈值(>20ng/ml)。此外,患有子宫肌瘤的女性血清 25OHD 水平低于无子宫肌瘤的女性。血清 25OHD 水平不足(<12ng/ml)和不足够(12-20ng/ml)的女性中子宫肌瘤的患病率明显高于血清 25OHD 水平充足(>20ng/ml)的女性。两组血清钙水平均在正常范围内。
在中国育龄女性人群中,普遍存在维生素 D 缺乏症,且患有子宫肌瘤的女性患者血清 25OHD 水平较低。
